Some very impressive home-style gloves on here!! Mine are just simple garden gloves with Velcro and chopping board, quick to make, cheap, and i manage to more than three sets of spear pucks out of one board.
so i made a few pairs of gloves and i guess i wasnt doin som right they wore down quick and came flying apart when i put them down on more agg. slides. so i went ahead and bought a pair and my confidence went up alot having non thrown together gloves made by .....me........so i want to know did i mess myself up buying a pair? will i never want to use a homemade pair after or..............
well, i figured i needed a new pair o gloves, as i lost one of my old ones, and they weren't in the best shape. They looked like this:
so, i went to home depot (hate the store, only for the corian) and picked up a pair of $9.99 heavy duty work gloves and some industrial strength velcro, the total was 19.50, not too shabby. I asked the clerk for some corian samples, and i guess there aren't any sliders in my town, as he just turned me loose in the corian drawer, with my gloves and velcro in my hands. After a short assembly, my new gloves are really nice, totally worth the 20 bucks.

I have an old pair of bmx gloves and i work for a cutlery company so i can get tons of little cutting boards, just cut a square for the palm and a rectangle for the fingers and angle the fingers one up at the pointer finger a bit so you can still grab your board and move your hand. i used threel ittle bottles of Krazy glue and never looked back. my skating buddy and roommate just bought the new loaded gloves ffor 50 bucks but the about 6 bucks plus maybe a few for the cutting board your set for months. i hardly notice a bit of wear but the loaded gloves at getting worn down super fast.
If you decide to go the cheap route and use good ol' poly cutting board, it melts at a fairly low temp. I use a small butane torch and stick it to the gloves after melting my puck on one side and it works fine. You may even be able to do it with a cigarette lighter...
heres the gloves i made, i took the gloves from my dad and the corian was free and the Velcro was 3 dollars so thats a total of 3 dollars for these bad boys
I tried getting corian tonight and it was a no go, Lowes wanted me to check out a whole box, like a library book. I got some sweet gloves tho for only six bucks!
Bah!
Us Canadians have the worst luck.
Kent (A store like home depot) only gives out their equivelent to corian brochures. I got my dad to go into Home Depot for me, and they said they only have brochures, too!
Damn.

I was JUST at home depot and I think I picked up the exact same gloves and industrial velcro. How did you stick the velcro to the glove? Did it just stay with the adhesive that was on the backing? Now that you've had them for a bit are they working out?
Also I was only able to get 7 samples (2x2) from the lady working there before she started to look annoyed. Any one have tips on "corian puck" configurations?
I may go out to lowes on the opposite side of town and try and grab more.
