Using this glove is easy. Simply put it on your hand and start your welding work. The long cuff provides extra protection when you lean against hot weld surfaces. When using, make sure your hands are clean and dry to get the best fit. For maintenance, keep it in a cool and dry place. Avoid exposing it to sharp objects that could damage the cowhide. If it gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a damp cloth. And remember, the Kevlar stitching is there to resist sparks and abrasion, but don't deliberately expose it to extreme conditions.
