Ronnie, while we're dealing out back-handed disclaimers: I only wrote my disclaimer because Doug's egged it on ... I had NEVER, EVER (no really!) previously thought about apologizing for being excessively technical in my humble contributions ... ;-) By the way, those chemical gloves are so cheap that I don't see how they can make money on them. Therefore, unless you want a special grip pattern, I'd not bother with trying to make my own! Didn't we have a discussion about dipping cloth gloves into liquid latex to make waterproof gloves at one point? Or was that on a more technically oriented discussion list? You see, if you make your own, you could probably curl them around a (release agent coated) paddle shaft before the latex cures and let the gloves set in that shape ... or to improve the grippiness, how about putting appropriately sized pieces of sticky neoprene sleeve over the shaft, curling the gloves around that and then, when the latex has cured, cutting the sleeve ... ;-))))))))) (By the way, do you hail from 1941 or the Hog or both?!?)
