for those of you with media/sand blast cabinet you know first hand how you wear the finger tips out on the parts holding hand glove. with as much blasting as we do i got tired of buying sets of gloves for the left hand or even having to buy one glove because of a hole.
for us the thumb and pointer finger tip gets worn the most and gets the holes. my trick to extend the life greatly:
clean affected area with some laq thinner to get all dust and whatnot off.
i use a clear sealer adhesive and put a layer over any holes and build up that area about 3/32-1/8 thick.. let it set up then i spray that area with plastic dip rubber coating.
once it's all dry you are good to go. holds up quite well and you can tune them up a few times as needed. coming back for a second coat of dip might not be a bad thing if you have the patience to wait for coats to dry.
next is teaching people to try to avoid blasting finger tips unnecessarily promoting the premature wear..
that is all for today's shop trix
carry on...
