More of a note to self so I don't forget...

I've been told it's good to coat the palms of your neoprene gloves used for dredging with Solarez Shoe Repair glue to give them extra protection.

I sore some cheap work gloves at Mitre 10 that you could put over your dive gloves...I don't know how much the glue cost but the gloves were $6..just a thought.

Would that hinder dexterity if the glue sets firm?

Not a bad idea!

Seen some with a glue coating - seemed okay.

Then again, just noticed gloves from Torpedo7 are 40% off at the moment so only $30. Not terribly expensive if burning through a pair a season:

Also just grabbed myself some fairly solid looking boots for $40:

I use auqa seal works awesome usually 3mm dive gloves will last a cupple days max without it but when I use aqua seal on the fingertips and the joins on the glove you can get weeks and weeks dredging with the same gloves
