Latex

Get your mind out of the gutter people (heh, usually people have to say that to me

). I need to know how you can get something coated/dipped in latex. I have a pair of very warm gloves that I need to make permanently waterproof. I know they sell gardening gloves that have been dipped in latex, but I need warmer than that. How do I get this done? Thanks!

go to your local home depot lowes and stuff, they have stuff called plasti-dip that when dried is a rubber coating, theres spray on and dip

and then theres spray on rubber, which ive never seen b4

heres the site
http://www.plastidip.com/consumer/index.html

the have other products like plasti seam , adn super grip coating to make ur plasti dip grip stuff for work gloves

what i would recomend u doing is puting wading in each of the fingers and taping off the end and dipping it

Why not get Gore-tex overgloves...that's a lot better for waterproofing and it adds an insulating layer.

I would think any plastic dip coating would crack the first time they got cold and got used!

I use plastidip on relays and tools and have never had a problem. I bought some in a spray can once. It took too many coats to build up a thick layer, but it might work well for gloves.
