Your Other Glove

admin

What does your other glove look like? Only been messing around with welding for about a month now and one glove is just about trash.

I liked those gloves too, really comfortable. Harbor Freight gloves from now on
Reply:Some of the glove companies sell rights or lefts as singles for just this reason. I use both hands equally, so I usually trash them as pairs.

Reply:You must be getting the left one awfully close to the arc. Are you right handed? Have you gotten blisters on your fingers??Ol' Stonebreaker  "Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes"Hobart G-213 portableMiller 175 migMiller thunderbolt ac/dc stick Victor O/A setupMakita chop saw

Reply:Process?  Hanging in there til you can not stand the heat. Right handed holding the stinger with two hands, left hand shields and catches the heat?  Keep working, you will figure out what gloves to wear,  lighter gloves work when you figure how to stay away from the heat.  Stick welding real vertical and overhead i where heavy gloves. For me, Tig welding is the worst for burning up gloves.  Mig not so much issues.  Burning practice beads on pads also burns gloves, lots of radiating heat.
