Cheap and Easy Longboarding Slide Gloves (with Wrist Guard)

Hello, this instructable will show you how to make cheap and easy long boarding/skateboarding slide gloves; with the option of wrist guards. I tried to make them as quick as possible which you can see in the pictures, but it's really simple and you can take the project to any level of detail/craftsmanship quality you want.

Materials:
-Construction/Garden gloves
-Aluminium tape
-Cutting board
-Epoxy or some sort of strong adhesive
(I used Loctite spray adhesive, although I think epoxy would be better)
-Wrist guards (optional)

Tools:
-Bandsaw/Skill saw
-Scissors


***Always wear safety equipment when making and using these, and I am not responsible for any injuries that may be caused***

Get your cutting board and trace a shape that will comfortably fit your palm, fingers, and thumb. These can be as simple as a square or can be more dynamic, it's up to you. You can also have individual pieces for the fingers or attach fingers by one piece.

I'm not sure how expensive aluminium tape is, but I had it laying around the house. I had the idea to use it, not only to patch holes in my previous gloves, but for a different material for the glue to mount to, and it really makes a difference. I originally glued my cutting board pieces straight to the cloth on the glove and it did not hold well at all. The glue bonds a lot better with the aluminium and plastic.

***Be sure to have the glove on your hand when taping, or else you won't be able to get your fingers in***
When you do get the tape on, and while your hand is still in the glove, you can squeeze your fingers with the other hand and it will bend/form the aluminium around your fingers for a better fit. 

If you use the glue I used, be sure to let it sit for a minute or two until it is tacky and then bond it with the cutting board.

I am a design student and don't want to injure my drawing hand, so I simply slipped a wristguard over my sliding glove. Thought I would just share the idea.

If not, you're done! Hope you enjoyed the 'ible and feel free to ask any questions or C&C.
Hope the gloves serve you well.
