thickness of sliding glove puck

[remi]

do u think 2mm id too thin for a puck even if im not gonna be sliding often? BTW the materiel is samples of countertop(not corion)

[assumeivan]

2mm? You can slide with anything..although thinner pieces of material do tend to slide very loud..

Hell, if it's free go for it, whatever works works

now, im having problems attaching the puck to the glove. Velcro doesnt seem to be very strong...

[Zzebotes13]

velcro not working??? i find that hard to believe seeing as they're only 2mm thick. velcro has been shown to hold much heavier and thicker pucks. what type of velcro is it??

Check the material of your glove..

Make sure youre letting the adhesive really sit on the glove, stick it on and weigh it down for a couple of hours..

If this doesn't work and your glove is thin enough, sew the velcro on with some dental floss..

I'm still a fan of plastic cutting board. It lasts decently long and it is super easy to attach. I actually attach mine using a lighter. Melt the plastic on. Trust me, it works REALLY well. Those suckers are stuck tight. Just make sure to use a gas mask. Melted plastic gives off carcinogens.

depending on what kind of cutting board
the one i used had holes in the middle, lasted about 7 sessions and slowed me down sooooooo much

im using 1/4 in. plexiglass and its fine

The cutting board I used was disgustingly bad, I blew it in about 2 solid sessions on watchtower, went down from an inch to a mm or less (superthin).

just wanted to show people the pucks i molded today with scrap cutting board material form another pair of gloves. i am going to do this from now on because i can make them whatever shape or thickness i want and for super cheap. my other gloves are in the back round.

thanks for the info guys. I actually found corion samples so i will try to get some new velcro and start over lol. But the glove is sorta rubbery..

my uhmw is 1/2" thick and lasts way longer than my cutting board. i guess i should have run it through the band saw and make 4 pucks out of 2.
