Hi all,
My gloves need repair.
The stitching on the outside of the glove (little finger side) is torn.
I want to put kevlar material over the tear.
The rest of the gloves is fine; thick rubber on all fingertips and palm. I don't want to replace the gloves because of a torn stitching.
Who knows adresses where you can buy this king of material?
I know about polyglue and sikaflex, but I first have to repair this tear.
FYI: I live in the Netherlands.
PS: any hints for alternative ways of repairing this are welcome off course!
EDIT: I added a picture of the torn stitching of my glove.

All I can say, use sikaflex! It repairs even big wholes....just put 2 or 3 layers on it! If you use a little fabric for the big wholes it is like new...
You can get Sika very easily via ebay...

I bought them at INTERSPORT....it is just a simple guard for Inlineskating! It´s about 15€ or something.....a little modification and it´s perfect. => Buy the gigest size you can get....

No, this is just because I am stupid and I don´t know how to ride!!
@MennoB: Try to saw the whole and then fix it with Sika - but watch, Sikaflex does´t work that good on rubber. So rough that rubber stuff up and then everything will be perfect!!!

The problem with Kevlar and rough textiles is that they are sensitive to abrasion, but can withstand rip's and tearing very well.
The only material that last is a material such as "p-tex" base plastics gliding with a low coeficient of friction on the snow.
I got some material from Tim in this forum and with some velcro glued to the p-tex and ptex stitched to the pants and glove I'll have stuf that last forever. I wonder what people say when I put some hot wax on my pants and gloves??
That in the soul which is called the mind is, before it thinks, not actually any real thing.
