Homemade slide gloves with a strap
well i just started to do a bit more sliding and i found that my homemade glovers from bunnings were really loose around the wrist... so i decided totry and build a strap into the wrist part.
materials:Velcro, Araldite, homemade slide gloves and scissors
so i started by cutting the little stitched part of the cuff like this:
then i cut along the cuff a little bit:
then i cut a little diagonal thing so it pulled under the other part instead of folding:
checked the tightness and fit:
cut the velcro strips:
and then glued on the velcro:
ill post up a pic of them on my wrist when the glue dries better probably in the morning
feel free to add suggestions criticism and better ideas or different materials that would work

Make sure you restich the sides where you unpicked it otherwise they'll continue to rip up the seam, happend to me once with leather pope gloves despite the restich.
Also, you may want to look a making bigger pucks, just a thought.

I use identical gloves. Did the same but the cuff straps over the other way. Worked fine except that it's hard to get glue to bond well to that material, so the velcro tends to detach easily. Let us know how the araldite goes. I'd have thought it would be too brittle.
Great thing about these gloves is the retroreflective hi-vis strip for night skating.

Yes the hi vis strip is good.... another problem i came across was that the cuff was flared for the workers hand o move around in more and by pulling that it would kinda twist the whole glove around but but i think by cutting alittle strip down both sides it minimises the twisting
