Rubi Tiling Gloves - TilersForums.com

Sick of being kept awake with the pain of split fingers and thumbs so tried out a pair of rubi gloves. Wish I'd tried them years ago. Non-slip and can still do fiddly work wearing them. My hands are finally healing after 3 years. Tried gloves before - latex and nitrile too slippy and fragile. Black marigolds (couldn't go for yellow!) too cumbersome. So if you're suffering then I can recommend them - available at CTD

Think I got a pair when CTD were doing the Rubi grout kits - bucket, float, sponge and gloves. They are good, I tend to just get a 56p pair of yellow marigolds from Aldi each week, they match the van nicely!

I find its just grouting when I need the gloves, I always wear rubber disposable gloves for grouting.

My local Travis will do them for £9.88+
Not cheap, but one pair can last all day as Gary says.
Regular nitrile I'll go thro 4-5 pairs a day easily and only £2 a box less.

Trouble is I need extra large, which seems hard to get hold of.

Apart from tanking, I ca t get on with gloves. Tried most, including the black mamba ones.

After a short while my hands just get too hot!

These are fantastic: Temres 281 from Showa. Breathable and waterproof and thin enough to work in.
Very small fitting though. I'm an 8-9 and need the XL.
