I have always broken in my gloves with oil and practice. I decided to hurry this one along by using the suggested oven tip I have heard about in the past. “Oh, just put your glove in the oven!” I never believed them, because I feared it would catch fire. I thought I was wrong. My Easter was ruined today.

    I have a very hard time believing you didn’t smell this before it got to this point. It’s got holes in the fingers this shit was probably smoking out of the oven setting off the smoke alarm.
