Making a glove

There are two options for making a glove - either using Silicone or Latex.  Silicone gloves are a bit simpler and quicker to make, a little bit more flexible (for growing hands) but perhaps less hard wearing than latex.  You also need a thicker layer of silicone to offer the same protection as a latex glove.

For a Silicone glove

There are two good videos on YouTube - they're from the US so some of the materials have different names (silicone caulk = decent bath sealant) but give a clear view of how to do it.   The first video covers materials, the second video is about how to actually make the glove.  It's probably worth using a man-made fibre for the glove (see below) rather than cotton as it's less liable to rot.

For a Latex glove you will need
