    where to buy velcro gloves in Thailand?

    I've never been able to find them, someone suggested homepro, no luck, someone else said Carrefour might have them....

    still no good, plenty of stuff but no velco gloves....

    maybe china town?

    does anyone know?

    There aren't any sheep in Thailand, that's why they don't sell velcro gloves here.

    "You need just enough of that sticky stuff
    to hold the seams of your fine blue jeans.
    I say yeah yeah.
    I say yeah yeah.
    There ain't never a catch, all you got to do is snatch,
    do the velcro fly,
    do the velcro fly."


    Oops, wrong thread.

    Velcro is a generic term like Xerox, Kleenex, and George W. Bush (as in 'damnit, excuse me, have to take another Bush...be right back.') and thus may be used freely.

    Willy, what do you do with Velcro gloves?

    Stop people from clapping you?

    My daughter used to have one in the shower for exfoliating and I found it was the best thing for getting the soap and lime build up of the glass shower screen.
    She wasn't really amused when she caught me cleaning the shower with it.
