need some help and advice on glove?

pge31

Hello everyone,

 

I am trying to learn to solder, but can't due to my disability. I would like to know if there is a special kind of glove that can prevent me from getting burn?

    You might check out the type of gloves that people who work with knives use to prevent cuts. They would provide protection against bumping the solder iron for a short period of time. I am only guessing that this will help as you did not explain the problem you are having with the solder iron. Another technique that may work is to mount the soldering iron in a fixed position pointing towards you then move the work and the solder to the tip of the iron. Here is a picture of a chain mail glove.

    Here is a picture of the alternate soldering technique I mentioned:

    Give me more information on your specific problem and perhaps I can think of something else.

    Hello John

     

    Thanks for your reply and your loaded good information. I appreciate your help. I will look for those gloves and give some of those tips a try. I never thought of any of those strategies before. My disability is weak nerves and muscular dystrophy. My problem is that my hand get shaky and my finger is not really strong to hold on to small things but I am willing to give it a try with some different technique.

     

     

    Thank you very much. You are so awesome!!!!!!!
