Long Board Slide Gloves DIY Home Made

I have created some long board Skate boarding slide gloves.
These gloves are designed to allow you to put your hands down on the pavement for stability when you are sliding. Very cool and easy to make plus very useful.
Materials,
Gloves - $2.99 OSH
Cutting Board - 0.99 99cent store
Industirial Velcro - $6.00 OSH
2 Ton Expoxy - $2.49 Osh
Total $12.47

I started by cutting out the cutting board into a shape that would fit the palm of the gloves. I also rounded the corners and beveled the edge so they would not catch on the cement.
I then tried to epoxy the cutting board directly to the glove but appearantly the epoxy does not stick well to the cutting board material. but on the plus side the epoxy sunk into the leather of the glove creating a perfect plastic surface to mount the velcro on.

I applied two applications of expoxy to the glove, to create a very solid surface to mount the velcro on. I Applied the expoxy to the back of the cuting board shape and then clamped it very hard to the glove, this really helped the epoxy sink in.

Next I applied the velcro to the back of the cutting board and then to the gloves epoxied surface.

Stick the two together and your ready to roll.

and now you can test different materials for sliding just cut them into the same shape and apply velcro.
