Ive looked online about ways to add grip to gloves such as wool and fleece but Ive not tried anything yet as Im worried about ruining the gloves ive got. I need to add some grip as they are fairly useless without, I know I could just buy new gloves but the ones Ive got are decent but slippery.
Has anybody successfully added some form of grip to gloves and wouldnt mind sharing advice please?

In reply to Pesda potato:
Try some "Shoe Goo " on a cheap pair first.

Edit. or try a thin grippy pair over the fleece gloves

In reply to Pesda potato:

ive tried layers and doesnt work that well thanks. I was about to click purchase on some shoe goo but it seems quite toxic, not sure id want that near my hands. I wonder how silicone would fare instead.

In reply to Pesda potato:

maybe Sugru would work?

In reply to Pesda potato:

Have you tried to get sticky sweets out of anything woolly, and then tried to let go of the woolly item. So sticky sweets it is! (And it will wash out afterwards quite easily!)

In reply to Pesda potato:
Not gloves, but when I asked on here for something to give more grip on webbing belts that were slipping, one recommendation was Seam Grip. I used that and it certainly increased the grippyness on webbing belts though not excessively. On the belts it was not visible when dried, nor has it affected the fabric as far as I see.

Possibly a long shot, but you could try that on gloves?

ive got some sugru and its good stuff but its too thick for fabric

In reply to kingborris:


I'd be surprised if it did. Can't see it bonding to gloves very well.

In reply to Pesda potato:

In Wickes they sell fabric gloves with a rubbery/plastic palm and fingers.
I used them for gardening but have been toying with the idea of putting a pair in my bag for belaying on fresh days.
They're about £1.50

You've not said what you want to do when you're wearing the gloves, which might make a difference to the suggestions.
