How to patch Showa Temres glove
|
Hi, I just made 2 small holes in my temres Showa glove . Any idea of to repair it effectively ? Cheers |
|
Try a drop of this. Just put one drop on the hole and let it be. If you can't handle being that patient (or need to get your repair done fast), put one drop and then cover with a piece of their repair tape. https://www.gearaid.com/products/seam-grip-sealant-waterproof |

Gonna try both method and see the effectiveness ! Thansk |

I use shoegoo. Use a scrap piece of cardboard or something and make a nice smooth thin layer. Edit: show goo falls off after belaying a few pitches. And def rapping, but I try not to rap in these gloves anyway. Don't use shoe goo. The patch will just fall off. |

tenacious tape and back it up with stitches |

I found the thumbs on the Showas to be a bit short, the Kinkos are a better fit in that regard but you still need to go up one size from your regular fit. The only down side is the knit cuff instead of the Showas gauntlet |

They have a separated inner liner, unlike the Showa which has the liner glued in place, which means that on the Kinco's the liner slips around separately from the shell and makes them less precise when trying to rack, or fumble with screws and gates and such. |
