Work glove discovery update
The new work
gloves I posted about 5 months ago are intact with no holes.
Chicken blood has stiffened
one. I tried using some linseed oil to soften it up but it only helped
a little bit.

Work Gloves
NOT linseed oil. It is a drying oil, and will slowly dry and harden. Use Neetsfoot oil, or a vegetable oil.

I use Huberd's Shoe Grease on all my leather. The stuff works wonders.

Try any cheap hand lotion- it's the lanolin that's functional; works great on your baseball mitt, too, without being greasy. Personally, I buy Menard's cheapest work gloves- $3/pr. At that price you can replace them several times before you've equaled the price of a "good" pair. They usually last more than 6 months.
