Make rubber gloves last longer

Austin_Allegro_2

If a rubber glove springs a leak, blow it up like a balloon and put it under water to find the leak. Then dry the glove, turn it inside out and patch the hole with the fabric part of a plaster (or you can use a bicycle repair kit).

If the glove is beyond mending, keep the other half to make up a pair the next time a glove breaks.

If you don't have a matching pair, just turn the one you do have inside out. (Doesn't work for fancy flock lined ones but then how many frugal people use those!)

Might save you a few pence a year but as they say on the adverts, every little helps. (pats money in bum pocket)

franky

Scheming gypsy that's classic! My mum uses old sock tops for this!

leads me to a story... few weeks back i went to visit my mum and she'd done some stew and put some in a tub for me (full tub).
I noticed it was leaking abit and thought she hadn't put the lid on properly and she assured me it was tightly secured. So i looked and her idea of 'tightly secured' was a to wrap an elastic band, made from an old rubber glove, around it. ??? ::)

pmsl. my kids chop the fingers off, and draw on them for finger puppets. we have more jaundiced familes living in a box than you would believe. couple of sunburnt ones too (don't blame me, this how the kids labelled them!!)

If you are a dairy farmer, you can use them to keep cows' udders warm on cold mornings.

Er...probably. ::)

left with one odd rubber glove?

make a 'stress-reliever': fill it with flour, and tie it up tightly with rubber band.
