do you guys have any recomendations here, i was out painting yesterday and i got frostbite, and also just froze my ass off. like good gloves that i can wear under latex ones.
Well thats part of the problem, I would just recommend getting a pair of cotton gloves, or like work gloves that you dont care about and use them. Cause what happens is your hand in the latex glove sweats because it cant breath too well, and then the sweat makes your hand all moist and water pulls heat away from your hand like 2/3s faster than normal or something along those lines. I would also recommend layers for the rest of you man, layers are good. Get some thermal underwear, and good socks. And dont forget to wear a hat, their always a good idea.
forget about the latex gloves, yeah just get some work gloves or something like that you can get those black cotton gloves pretty cheap too, those work
i use stanfield thermal wear.. pants and longsleeve.. then a stanfield cotton sweater and a jacket.. keeps me realy warm. the gloves thing.. wear your latex gloves underneather a paint of.. " mechanix gloves thats the company name.. you can pic up a pair at like a canadian tire or lordco are any other place that sells tools and car stuff.. there kelvar top with a leather palm.. so they keep your hands warm but you can also have that nice grip from the leather.. and if your having problems with your paint. toss some socks into the dryer for about 20 minets then put your cans in the warm socks..
how do you keep your paint warm...also my caps seem to fuck up more in the winter...or maybe it's b/c my paint gets cold...I don't know...some tips on how to trouble shoot that problem will be appreciated Hey btw I don't use gloves to paint I use those pocket warmers and stuff b/c gloves sorta get in my way abit...thats always an option PIECE~~~~>FLAW SIK FOE RV DR
put shortcuts in your armpits to keep them warm if you use those. ive used them in freezing weather and a ny fatcap and the can popped on the bottom. i got orange paint all over my shoes and i left an ulgy ass tag that looked like someone threw a bucket of paint at it. im not sure if it had somethin to do with the weather or the cap on a smal can..does anyone know?
cans in the arm pit, and if you wear underarmor stick normal cans in your groan area to keep them warm
yea detroit got snow the october 2nd.... and we havnt seen any since... yea we are all going to die!!!
watever you do, dont go out bombing when its snowing, one its cold, and two, you leave footprints and its easy to track you by them, unless its a place where everyone walks, and its all moooshie...ewww.
whats fucked up is i also got frost bit on my right index fingure. its fucked up, shits all blistered, its horrible. Here in Minneapolis its been 30 degrees a night so not toi bad.
i suggest painting in the nude when its freezing outside haha or wear a thick sweater gloves and dont forget the double socks!
I live in Northern Canada...about 1000 miles above Montana. Just wear warmer pants...snowpants if you're gonna be out as long as I am. Go to a snowboard shop and get some Pipe-Gloves...they're thin enough that you've got decent ability to feel, yet warm enough that your fingers won't be numb. Larger jackets have more space to hide cans and markers and shit. Also, don't worry too too much about keeping your cans warm...if you're using the shit brands with more aerosol than paint, the cold will lower the pressure...which certainly isn't a bad thing. That's my 2.869000001 Cents. Yeah, Flash...that shit was COLD. I was gonna hit some trains and said "Fuck that..."
