My hands get wet using my rubber gloves

From: Linda on 29 Mar 2007 10:45 Serious now, please. I go and get some high-priced super chemical-resistent rubber gloves for doing the washing up. A few seconds after starting I cut a small hole in the gloves. What an **** idiot! Ok, get a dishwasher. Wash sharp knives separately. I know, I know. But nothing seems to stop them getting holed. Happens every few days. Am getting sick of this so no I'm going to patch the nearly-new glove with a hole. But that's where it gets hard. If I use a self-adhesive repair patch for a bicycle inner tube (inside and maybe outside too (if the "hole" is actually more like a small cut) then the hot water. What sort of adhesive would make a good repair of the glove? Some adhesives make the the rubber deform (it takes a few days). Would a contact adhesive resist the heat of the water better? I like the water hot. Can anyone help. Am sure there could be lots of crazy replies and that's ok,. but I also want to fix this!

You want a chemical resistent glove, that is not resistent to chemicals? Surgeons have this problem all the time. They use thin gloves, and they put on multiple layers. Put surgical gloves (like a bicycle inner tube) on under your thick gloves (like the tread on a bicycle tire). Won't be perfect, but will be better. David A. Smith

No rubber gloves are expected to last indefinetely. Just buy two pair. When one fails you will always have the other pair. Then, next time you go out buy one pair. That way you will always have a replacement. If you want to be really cheap then replace only the damaged one and continue using the one thats undamaged.

Keep them outside the bowl and be careful when washing them! Philip

At least if you cut your hands instead of the gloves, nature will repair them!<g> [That was my mother's logic for sending me out in short trousers when I was a kid, anyway - skin would re-grow on knees, but cloth wouldn't mend itself!] -- Cheers, Roger ______ Email address maintained for newsgroup use only, and not regularly monitored..
