Thread: Sweat absorbing gloves.

I have a problem regarding lawnmowers in Ting Tong Land. I sweat so much when cutting my grass, about one Rai, that the handlebars and control cables start to rust very quickly and they're fcuked after about a year or so. I've been told that I should have washed the lawnmowers down after each time I used them. So I will do that after I've replaced my current mower which won't see another season.
To assist in preventing sweat damaging my new lawnmower, I thought about wearing 'sweat absorbing gloves' and then washing the mower after every mow. Can anyone recommend the gloves that I need?

Marigolds finest. Just empty them out when they're full.

I would use my weightlifting gloves....if I ever planned to mow my lawn.....which I don't.

IF there was ever an example of a good reason to take advantage of the extremely low cost of labor...

Youve got ginger hair and giraffe skin Prag, you shouldnt be out in the fukkin sun

I wouldn't trust Somchi to walk my dog let alone use my 25,000+ Baht lawnmower.

I know that but as long as I can still breath I'll cut me own lawn.

I've tried rubber gloves in the past for other things but I can never find my size. I'm glove size 11. Anything less is a waste of time.

We have a little old bloke who comes round when needed with his strimmer. He does a great job, provides his own fuel, works slow and steady and it costs 300 baht a time.
Too easy.

It's quality lawn not agricultural land.

Yes, I thought it might be.

Wrap the bars with tennis tape and wear tennis wrist bands.

Wrap towels around the handle bars like bus drivers do around the gear shift knob?

Get a goat hidden benefits and when full , curry

Worth a try. Thanks for that suggestion.

Or mocy sponge handle bars grips

Your welcome to come and inspect any time you're passing.

Sweating when gardening and engaged in yard work.
Comes with the territory, yes?

Hardin' the fuck up, snowflakes.

^ Too right Jeff. I was taught 'never get someone to do it for you if you're still capable of doing it yourself'.

I'd recommend ...

I'll have to try and take a photo tomorrow to show how bad the sweat from my hands has effected my mower. WD 40 doesn't stand a chance of assisting me. Thanks for trying.

If wd40 doesn't help, I'd suggest getting your sweat studied by a uni....maybe they could copy it to clear blocked drains or degrease grills and such. It's your chance at fame and fortune!

Wait til you see the pics tomorrow and see how corroded my mower is. May be then you'll understand my problem?

CJ's idea is best, rubber gloves....

I'm going for a combo of Missit, CJ's and VocalnNeals ideas.

This is what 2 seasons of grass cutting sweat has done to my mower.
