bought moto gloves, (gardening gloves or any thick leather gloves would do)
sew in velcro with the thickest thread I could find, looped side
bought slippery dips
three easy steps, if you screw it up, just try again, and get it right!

Velcro is attached to all bought slide pucks, so you don't need to melt them on or glue them, thus having to replace the glove all the time as well, also makes an easy swap and rotation of the pucks.
BMX gloves will work, the advantage of leather though, is that it lasts, and doesn't wear or tear that easily when you crash
Just make sure that when you sew the velcro in, use three or four seperate threads, you don't want to bust a seam, and have to do the whole lot of it again!

Why Velcro? Mate, search, "home made slide gloves" and there are dozens of photos discussion and what not, then ask clarification. Be smart about it.

Velcro can be ripped off straight up and down, but its extremely hard to tear it off laterally (sideways)....its to o with the loops and hooks of the velcro...
