If I use it to repair/coat (sailing) gloves, will they maintain their grip/tackiness? Shoo Goo etc, are "hard/crunchy" and make the gloves totally lose their grip.

The urethane remains flexible after it is cured. You may lose some tackiness, however. Material like shoo goo is a polymer that is solvated. Once the solvent evaporates the film is hard. Louie Winslow Regards, Louie Winslow

I found them cumbersome. We all bought a pair for a wilderness kayak trip in Alaska last year and the fit for me was ok. The fingers were too long so I had no dexterity at all. Couldn't size down or would have been too tight! Grip is good but if you are fly fishing, no way could you attach a fly or leader.... they did however keep my hands warm like a wet suit would.. if your hands sweat you would want to wear a liner. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't machine wash them, I'm afraid they wouldn't hold up and the "sand" getting wet might ruin the gloves altogether. You could spot clean them thought I haven't tried cleaning them yet.

It's kind of like slightly dried out play-dough. I found using a combination of my fingers and a trawl work the best. I got frustrated using gloves and just used my bare hands. It will somewhat depend on what you were trying to do. I had to build up a pretty thick area and had to do several applications to build it up.

they are made to withstand the prick of a knife, I would think they could stave off the fish.just be aware of the smell otf the glove

Clean the sticky side just with water after each use. When they get too smelly you can throw em in the normal wash with your other clothes. Each wash takes a bit out of them though, so wash only when the smell is way too bad. If you can afford it I'd have a practice pair and a game pair for the season. If not follow what I said and it should last longer than any other gloves you find. These are by far the best gloves on the market in my opinion. I've gone through a lot.

I would say yes. These gloves are lined, and do an excellent job of keeping water out. I've tried other manufacturers, but none have been effective as Glacier Glove. Even after a good day of fishing in rough surf conditions, my hands are kept dry by these gloves. Water could leak in through the cuff if you completely submerged them, but otherwise these gloves do an excellent job of keeping water out.

I can't vouch for their efficacy for that line of work. They are a tight fitting, flexible glove. I actually bought mine to use as light/medium weight motorcycle gloves.

I only had one chance to try out the gloves after I applied the product, so I can not say how long it truly lasts. There seems to be enough liquid product to reapply 3 or 4 times. Longevity would also depend on how you use your gloves and how often you use them. In my case, I used AnyGlove on my motorcycle gloves and it lasted for several hours of riding and still worked at the end of my ride. I wouldn't suggest having a snowball fight with the gloves but for casual wear a bottle might last a winter.

My mother and I haven't used it around anything along those lines. We mainly use them for baking and taking trays and pans out of the oven. I'm sure if hot soup fell on the glove it would be fine but as to dipping into the boiling liquid I would recommend no.

I use them for fishing in the winter. I don't have much rope to pull on because I am trolling and my hands are rough to begin with. They would work if you have to pull on rope. Fast moving rope may burn through the glove, they are thin. The glove comes to the first knuckle.

I'm not a good example for wraps as I don't really wear them (and I injured myself once or twice), But, I would wear wraps for heavy bag use or serious sparing. Like the other gloves out there, Alone, The integrated wrist wrap does not provide enough support for extensive pounding (in my case, for hooks).

Disclaimer: I haven't actually plunged my hands in fryer grease while wearing the gloves, but they are very, very heavy duty and are longer than the average rubber glove so I would expect they would be pretty good for that purpose.

No, they will make them warm. These are the thin, non-wind proof base layer and must be used together with a insulating top layer (wool is the best). As a result you'll hands and feet will keep warm :-) This materials function is based on friction, not insulation. Moving and rubbing hands together will create warmth inside this base layer, the insulating top layer will keep the created warmth inside :-)

I think, if anything, it would give a better result. The Fat Gripz that people attach to dumbbell bars make the bar thicker, and dramatically alter the way the bar works the forearm. So gloves (or wrapping them in tape) would make the bars thicker and probably harder to work.Currently I'm using the ProHands gripmaster...and its too weak, I found one of these at the nearest used sporting goods store, along with a pair of Fat Gripz...unfortunately this is too strong.

I used them just for riding my motorcycle. I used them and nice pair of leather gloves. I repurchased just to have them again. I live in Oklahoma and was a 12month rider. As my circulation has changed in cold my fingers are ice my hands. They are an integral part of my cold weather gear. I hope I helped. I seen the other responses. I wonder what went wrong. I was extremely impressed with them.

They'll work fine, but the grip that enables them to hold things in place is what eats through the finish. If this is important, perhaps a piece of Saran Wrap will protect things.
