    Glove Problems?

    I don't know if anyone else has done this but anyway I thought I would share a tip...

    If your glove has holes in it you can repair it (at least temporarily) by using some stuff cold Sore Spot (it's made by Scholl). It adhesive backed moleskin that you are meant to apply to areas where your feet are being rubbed by shoes or to the shoes as a pad.

    Cut the stuff to size and stick it on. In my case I stuck some on the inside and also on the outisde to ensure that areas of high wear are now protected.

    I was suggesting an alternative to duct tape.

    Unlike duct tape this doesn't constict your hand, it also is just as adhesive so there isn't a problem with the repair falling off.

    Jeez you suggest something and all people do is snipe.

    Gav;

    Your suggestion is timely. I just got a small cut on top of one of the fingers of my glove. I'll probably patch it over the weekend with that stuff you suggested.
