Welding Tips and Tricks

Well I am seriously thinking about how to make a "tig finger" material glove myself. I gave brand new 50L gloves to someone learning to 6G stick weld and he shrunk the right glove so tight I can not get my hand to close. I just thought that had to hurt but he never said a word.

I think some form of "over glove" would be a great design - put it over my TIG glove. I get the TIG glove of my choice, and replace it frequently. Make the thumb and pointer finger shorter and open-ended, or leave them off altogether.

For how I weld, I find that radiated heat is a bigger problem than propping. The backs of my fingers get cooked from heat radiating off the workpiece. I even bought a pair of firefigher's rescue gloves, only to discover the 600-degree heat protection was on the palm-side of the fingers, and not where I needed it.
