  • Good night everybody! I have received a bookoo of emails asking questions which I tried to answer - but if you have some more throw them my way in the morning! For now though I'm zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! :laugh:

  • Jack, as you know I tried to send you a personal email today via this board and you never received it so I guess I have to go public with this - a pos is a genteel way of saying something is a piece of sh*t. Got it? :laugh:

  • you might be able to pick your nose with these, where you can't do that with Orkas! just saying... :laugh:

  • One other point I should have added...yesterday when researching it was common to find that the palms had a lower heat rating than the backs. Typically the palm was 1,000 or 1,200 while the back was 2,000. Pete said these are made so the whole glove…

  • LOL - I meant to reply to your post about your gloves, Brandon - actually I do remember you wearing those in June, which is amazing I remembered anthing seeing how stinking hot it was that day!

  • I told him he might be getting a small flurry of orders - in fact when I first called he said "oh, you're the BBQ guy I talked to this morning" and I said "no, that was a guy named Dave who got this whole ball rolling about these gloves!"

  • will do! Actually those gloves are made in Chicago, just 160 miles from here so if they are direct ship maybe I'll get them sooner.

  • Let's see 10 pounds is $16.20 US. You might want to ask for a kiss after that shag! :laugh:

  • See? I had trouble as well and I told Pete he might want to look into it as I'm sure others would be trying to order as well. I assume you got hung up like I did saying they needed a minimum order of $15.00 - Right?

  • Good point, Doug. I have to wonder though about their claim of 248K members - I reallllllllllly doubt that!

  • I ordered these which are brown and rated to 2,000°. I liked the apparent dexterity and the textured surface. I use my Orkas but these new gloves will provide much more grip and ability more than just "clamping" thumb to fingers! http://www.allsafe…

  • Dave, I just placed my order. BTW I had trouble with their checkout so I had to deal with Peter in Sales who got me all lined up! He added some more info that these glues are made purposefully for steel plant workers where they are pulling molten…

  • Jack - you have email via this board - you might have to check your spam box as sometimes they end up there.
    in Zetex gloves - Thanks Dave in Florida! Comment by RRP July 2011
  • Please do! Of all my research that pair looks like they have the best of all the points to watch for that I highlighted in that other thread. In addition this is a good price even when going first class!

  • Will do, Kelley, and thanks for not thinking I had steered you wrong!

  • sorry but those things are a pos as you just attested to.
    in Zetex gloves - Thanks Dave in Florida! Comment by RRP July 2011
  • Jack, in that regard all I have found say one size fits all, but unlike many of the other expensive high temp gloves these are always stated as in pairs vs. one glove.

  • haven't yet, Jack, but trust me I'm researching!
    in Zetex gloves - Thanks Dave in Florida! Comment by RRP July 2011
  • I haven't tripped the trigger yet as I've found prices range like crazy at different sites - I'm still looking.

  • not being sure where Lewis Center, OH is but you might want to try the GFS locator to see if any are close by. They sell 20# of their private label which is made for them by Royal Oak. $12.99 in these parts! http://www.gfs.com/en/store-locator.page?

  • I've been using it exclusively for a couple years now - good stuff! If you have a Menards store in your area they carry it, but also have an annual sale (at least for the last 3 years running) in February for some reason. They sell it then for $3.7…

  • I've been doing some more research and comparison of the Zetex gloves and have found several points to watch for when evaluating them. I have seen references and terms of: - short duration exposure is quite common, but never defined - ratings …

  • Speaking of Photobucket I have a question. I still use the free service and have over 1,000 photos stored there, but also backed up on Carbonite. WHY is Photobucket free? I don't have to wade through ads and I don't seem to be spammed in my email. I…
    in OT Photobucket??? Comment by RRP July 2011
  • Thanks - that's interesting - I see Amazon has some Zetex rated to 1,000° for $51 for a pair. Not really that much more expensive than a pair of Orkas.
    in plate setter Comment by RRP July 2011
  • Thanks for the explanation there Joan. I've just seen some pictures of set ups over the years that have made me scratch my head and ask "why?".

  • Guess I'd be more concerned about that 800 pound gorilla in this post - I mean you egg on a covered porch which I assume is attached to your home. Do you use some ventilation? BTW I agree a spark arrestor during dry conditions makes sense, but even …
