Ove Glove? Anyone? Looking for smelting & casting gloves.

Found there is a new model available, at least thru my local Walgreen stores. Left and Right specific AND rated for steam also. Was listed on the wally-world website, but none of my local stores even knew what they were. Walgreen's it was.

Sounds new and improved from an already great product.

On my job heat treating hammers using lead pots as a heat medium, I used a fleece glove called Heater Beater.
We were working at 1500 degrees Fahrenheit. You could hold onto hot steel that was probably in the range of 900 degrees for a few seconds if your gloves were dry. Those gloves would soak up water so your safety margin decreased the wetter they got.
They were fairly long lasting but took some getting used to when trying to handle small parts.
They had a medium length cuff on them.

I use the oven groves for casting. Got a pair of welding gloves for when I do smelting. With the oven gloves on I can open the sprue of the mold . I dont need to hammer it....Get wife a pair(oven gloves) and when they get stained she gives them to you and get her a new pair A "win-win" situation!

Just a suggestion, there is a glove for welders called "Caimans? it has a glove and an elbow-high protector with a built-in pad for your arms!! Kind of like a welding glove that goes all the way to your elbows!! Great casting and smelting gloves!! Last pair I bought were $25 plus tax in Cushing, OK. Like said before, your price may vary according to your location!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!!

Seen some at a Kroger store last week.

Got mine from Buffalo Arms.

So I finally found the Weber version at Lowe's on semi clearance. They were $24 for the pair, instead of $29. I'm glad I got them. When I tried them on I found they go much further up the arm then the Ove Glove. Also, they are right and left handed.

Good tip on the "Caimans?"
