Chadd 916 Report post Posted May 3, 2004 I've had that problem with my Graf 700s, the only thing that seems to help is a little water right before I go skate. Nothing has softened them up very much and I've tried everything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Boston10 Report post Posted May 3, 2004 Use a rag/face cloth and soak it in hot water under the fawcet. Then put it on your hand and put your hand in your glove. Next take your hand out and run some more water on the rag and place it on the plam of the glove, while putting your hand inside the glove and squeezing. When you complete this either let your gloves dry a bit or do what I do and put your gloves in your dryer under damp-dry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PMurphy17 25 Report post Posted May 3, 2004 Never ever use water. It will do more damage than most products. It causes leather to dry out. Depending on the quality, you can use baseball glove products.Most of todays gloves use Nash so there is not much you can use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mack 44 Report post Posted May 3, 2004 The tried and true is the same as baseball gloves - shaving cream. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sn1per 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2004 u can usually find baseball glove conditioner made by easton or any other stuff. Just rub that stuff in, wait over night and do it again until your palms are soft Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
black296tuuk 3 Report post Posted May 6, 2004 gloveoluem can get very oily, there is something called Pro-Prep that is more of a jelly base, that you wipe on the leather and then let it sit for about 20 minutes and then wipe it out. I laced baseball gloves for years and it always worked best. Also make sure that if you use shaving cream, it needs to have lanolin in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
