Does anyone have an idea why this is happening? I haven't been able to find a detailed guide on making silicone gloves, so I'm quite new at this (if anyone has a good guide please tell me).
I thought it might be because I used a medium sized cotton glove (as opposed to a large).
Thanks! |
Yes Zanjo i now what you mean.
In the past we made also inflexible silicon gloves. The inflexible silicon means you use the normal silicon that you can buy everywhere.(1 component) We in Tilburg(NL) use another sort off silicon. Made by 2 components. That silicone stay very flexible and is dry after 15 minutes. So you can read in the other glove story. But it is more differ cult to get. In the Netherlands there is only 1 store in the whole country that sell that sort off silicon.
If the glove sits to tight around you hand and fingers. Maybe you must try another size glove.
Those can fit also good around the hand. But not as tight. That has nothing to do with the silicon.

Making a glove by latex or with silicone is not such as different.
