[TheForge] in search of pink welding gloves.

[Jeff Harding]

Hi Terry;

   Not sure if you're going to find pink gloves, but if you can find
grey ones , they will take a pink dye pretty well.  They won't look
like a pro dye job, but the leather palmed work gloves we used to use
were washed, when they washed them with the red shop rags, they came
back a nice pale grey pink, definitely pink.  If you can find grey,
you could probably dye them by using a spray bottle of pink or dilute
red, Rit and repeated applications. Buy yourself a new pair and
experiment on them first, when you've got the pink figured out, just
dye your new splotchy pink gloves red.  Of course, most of the welding
gloves I've seen are that "natural brown", color, not conducive to
taking a pink dye.  Hope you find them.
