Using these Lincoln TIG welding gloves is easy. Just put them on like you would any regular gloves. When you're welding, the form - fitting design will give you a great feel and control. Make sure to keep your hands clean before putting on the gloves to avoid dirt getting inside. For heat protection, the 4 - inch cuff should be properly adjusted around your wrist. When not in use, store the gloves in a dry place away from direct sunlight. Don't expose them to sharp objects that could tear the leather. And if they get dirty, you can gently wipe them with a damp cloth. These gloves are built to last, but with proper care, they'll serve you well for a long time.
