TIG Gloves

You should go to the LWS and try the tig gloves on. I usually use the Tillman 30 gloves.

I'm still using tillmans that are 5 years old. They're actually deerskin MIG gloves, but I like them better than the thin kidskin TIG styles.

The reality is they're 10 bucks. It's not a new tractor. If you find something isn't working for you, it's easily changed.

I ended up getting a pair of Tilmans and they fit pretty good. We will see how they hold up.

I have used pigskin, goatskin even brown cotton gloves while TIG welding. You need gloves with a long cuff so you don't blister your wrist with UV light and they need to be supple enough that you can walk the wire down with your fingers rather than stop to get another hold. Some folks will freeze the wire in the puddle and relocate their hand, but I always preferred to walk the wire down so I kept my hand away from the hot flame.

Yes Agreed Good quality are thinner more flexible and stop burns and Zaps ... Pig skin seem to be best in my book .. I helped train Raynard tig welders for a while remember Indy Car Chassis Builders in the UK .. Just Love Tig welding so much more control :laughing:
