So "cutting board". I can use the cutting board they sell at walmart for cutting meat and stuff?

Its by fiberware I think, but its only like 1/3 inch thick...not sure if its thick enough.

also. "industrial strengh" velcro from walmart, yes or no?

for puck materias ive found that drywall shims work well. they arent pucks and arent any sort of resin. They are made of super compressed wood pulp. bio degradable after a long time but also slide for a long time. Since they are made of wood the torch method will not work.

also there is another way to make gloves. it involves cutting a sheet of thin ply wood the same size and shape as your slide pucks. get some small, like 1/4 or 1/2 inch self threading skrews. place your cut ply wood on top of your slide puck. make shure that the plywood is toching the side of the puck that you intend to attach to the glove. the glove and the slide puck shoud match up in shape and size. Pre drill around four holes into the outside your plywood and slide puck for the specific skrews that you have. DO NOT DRIVE THE SKREWS YET

. make shure that the skrews will not protrude through the slide puck. put the plywood piece INTO the glove and the slide puck ontop of the glove. position the puck to where you want it and smooth out any wrinkles, now drive the skrews from inside the glove twords the outside so that the heads are on the inside of the glove. tighten them up real good and viola....Slide Gloves 8)

black velvet slide pucks

after a few months of testing, i can definitively say that Tactics's pucks (i wanna say haylar?) are mondo bitchin'.

I've got them on Mechanix gloves with two 2x2 corian pucks for spock fingers. no thumb puck.

Half of my puck collection, the rest are on the gloves/knee pads.

And eugene, yeah man halar pwns.

**SpeedFiend** · 11-16-2008 05:08 PM

thats quite a collection of slide pucks. so you wear slide pucks at multiple points on your body?

**Alpha06** · 11-16-2008 06:55 PM

Yeap, except for the hip, I wear hip pads sometimes. I tried a slide puck on an area I kept on falling on and it just sent all the blunt force concentrated into one area. Bad idea.

Some of those pucks will be given out at the rip for people to test/post a mini review on the fish, which is why they are still shiny

Must resist using them.

But mostly just on the knees, side of the knee pads, and the elbows and fngers

so i made some slide gloves out of corian tiles... i think its because i have really sweaty hands but eventually the puck comes off and that was after 1 session. maybe the crack in the pavement helped but ive slide over the breaks in the concrete before and it was no problem. anyone experience this? if i wanna glue the tile what kind of glue should i use? also does anyone have any precut UHMWPE that they could send me, i think i might be better off just melting that biatch to the glove

Try 2 ton epoxy, or some shoe goo!

**cmarts** · 11-28-2008 11:58 AM

I thought of something that might be really funny.
Screwing those "tail devil sparks" thingys on a sliding glove puck, to sesh up at night.
I know its not the best sliding material or whatever, but it would look really cool for like one night.
haha

haha ya, i thought of that this summer. i bought 2 sets to put on my gloves/tails back in june, but never posted anything about it. i was savin em for a comp or something cool like that. then alpha came up with the same idea recently and posted all kinds of sweet vids & pics. and i thought i was so original

you can just put velcro on the tail devils, and swap them out for a finger puck. you still slide fine since most of yer weight is on the palm puck(s)

i kinda wanted to stick to velcro so i can switch out slide pucks. but after my last few sessions and 4 feet of velcro later i have given up. i think it may be my sweaty hands but i need a way to stick these pucks to the glove. if i use 2 ton epoxy or shoe goo 100% sure the pucks wont fall off again? i was thinking of sewing the velcro into the glove but i dont know how to sew! haha

Hey does anyone know if you can melt the corian? I want to make them circular by melting them down and putting them into a mold. Also, I want to make them thinner.

Or you could go forge them in the fires of a Mt. Doom.....
I think the point of getting free corian is to not have to do any work... ^^
