responses to production glove

beaconpo@AOL.COM

Thank you for all of your responses.

In summary, there was good advice: avoid the use of lotions and petroleum products that can react with the PVC and consider using the cleaners/protectants desiged to keep these gloves in good shape. All of the resposes recommended Regal except one from Realastic and one who was looking for a distributor of their product in the US.

Original post:

We have a young lady who is looking for a production glove that she uses over her partial hand. She has previously had gloves that were soft and remained soft, but the last gloves that she recieved were stiff and hardened significantly with age. If you have any suggestions it will be appreciated.

Custom restoration or expensive gloves are not a viable option due to lack of funding and insurance coverage.
