Rubi Tiling Gloves

[macten]

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.

I just couldn't allow myself to be seen in yellow marigolds

 

[Andy Allen]

[macten]

I only use them for grouting, if it's the difference between sore hands or yellow gloves then the gloves win hands down..

Invested in the black mamba gloves, brilliant but got them on Amazon and not cheap...should've gone T&P.

I pulled mines out to grout a job last week & they lasted 2 mins.
They are size large & to big for me.
Need a trip to Tesco to stock up on marigolds..

Well I nipped into my local Tesco to pick up gloves & they have stopped doing their own brand ones.
Used to get 2 pairs for 48p & I had to buy 1 pair of marigolds for £2.58!!! Raging...
