Question about Gloves

[berges33]

Hello,

Can anybody tell me on what material the gloves " oven-mitts" are made of?.
I just bought a pretty nice Robin, but like so often- the gloves are missing.
Now i try to make some gloves on my own.
Maby somebody can help me.

All the best

Dirk

They are thin plastic. You can purchase reproductions from Doc Mego as well for very little money

Now i will show my first try in making oven mitts.
I found good material in the right coulor and after a while it works.
They arent perfect but the next attempt should be better.

Greetings

Hello

I built them on a very primitiv way. The most difficult part was to find the right plastic.
At first i made a stencil. Than i bent a thin sheet after the stencil. My girlfrind gave me a sheet - a cookie cutter-.
I took two layers of the plastik material and than i put the "cookie cutter" upon the plastik. Than i took a heat gun (300°C or 572° f) and i blew the air from outsid round the sheet. After a few seconds i pressed the sheet into the plastik. Now the two layers were bonded.
At last i cut the glove with a pair of scissors around the weld.

Now i need much more material in the right colour to bring it to perfection.
