JDBaits Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 I have been looking for a pair of gloves to pour plastics with, what kind would you guys recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthworm77 Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 I wouldn't recommend using gloves. Anything that would protect your hands from any burn will certainly be too thick and clumsy to manage. Anything that doesn't protect from burns may do more harm than good if you have an accident.

clamboni Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Don't pour myself, but I'd think a mechanic's glove would work well and you wouldn't lose much dexterity. Or a thin neoprene glove with just the fingertips cut off. Yeah, it would expose the fingertips, but would cover more than nothing would.

Tubeman Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Any leather glove will provide burn protection, you will feel the heat of the plastic...but it won't burn you....unless you get a pile of it on your hand. Insulated gloves are better provided you still have some dexterity. I have a few diff one for diff jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsmblack Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 I have used the ove glove and I think it is a little too thick. Personally I use a pot holder. Look for one that is fairly thin and it works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike-A-Pike Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Clamboni got me thinking, check military surplus shops or the inter-web for pilot's nomax gloves http://www.uswings.com/gloves.asp Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njrfishing Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 I use Hyflex foam gloves they fit snug and have the finger tips and pawm of the glove are dipped in a rubber type product. They have saved my hands from burns all I do is wipe off any plastic with a cloth or rag. I hope the picture comes out ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastorshane Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 I use hyflex gloves as well and they work great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubeman Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Hey, we sell a version of the Hyflex at the retailer where I work. It comes in both Insulated and Non Insulated versions. For you Canucks, Mark's Work Wearhouse sells them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike-A-Pike Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 NRJFishing and Tubeman, I went to the HyFlex web site and agree they make a glove for just about any hazard. I wasn't able to determine if they offered the heat/flame protection that nomax has? Can either of you tell me? Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clamboni Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 You don't need nomex. It's more for protection from open flame. When it heats up, the fibers swell to make somewhat of a seal to insulate from the heat. Hot plastic dripping on it might get into the fabric and not allow it to workt he way it's designed if it gets into the fabric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastorshane Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Mine aren't insulated, I just use mine to pour if the cup is too hot to hold, or to open two piece molds if they are hot from several pours. I got mine at wal-mart for like $5.00 in the fishing supplies. They sell them as fish cleaning gloves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastorshane Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 I checked yesterday at wal-mart yesterday, in the fishing section they sell the gloves I use they are made by "LAKERS" and they are under $2.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
