The color way on that mitt is awesome

[@scottfrankenfield4762]

Great video. Thanks for sharing!

[@bwayne3369]

What size block do you use? Solid job, well done.

[@mavenbalm]

Its just a common board home depot that I cut down to 6" x 3.5". Its just about1" thick. Thanks for watching. The rubber bands I use are a mix of size 105 and 106. Yes, Rubber bands come in sizes, who knew? :)

[@bwayne3369]

@@mavenbalm I've been using ace bandage instead of rubber bands. Works great. Got my 9 year old a 12" Wilson a2000. Hopefully her forever glove. It brings me back to the old days. I love the glove probably more than her...but she still is crazy about it.

What do you charge to break in a 12.5” softball glove & where would I go about doing so

[@randykroll8997]

I need the same thing done to my daughter's new a2000

[@mavenbalm]

Send it in! I will take care of it for you.

@@mavenbalmoffer still stand? What do you charge to break in a glove? I need the same… :)

[@angeld807]

Awesome Work my daughter just got the same glove today. Got lucky because there wasn't one with 100 miles of Arizona. How much coat do you put on the outer super skin?

[@mavenbalm]

Just enough to lightly cover the surface.

[@phdyoutubedegree1939]

have you had any request to open up the finger stalls more?

[@mavenbalm]

Yes I have. I always ask for a outline of your hand to gauge if I need to open them up .

[@javieralejandroacuna3908]

Nice job! Could I do this without using water?

[@josevelazquez5070]

Good stuff man. I prefer to keep my gloves a little stiff for longer durability as far sals the shape of the glove goes but good job. Any recommendations as far as breaking in a glove without using jot water?

[@mavenbalm]

Same process but no water is all I can say. The end result should be the same but you’ll work much harder. Appreciate you watching!

[@LEESMITHable]

Tell me your in Atlanta and I’m dropping a glove to you tomorrow.

[@mavenbalm]

Tampa.. send it over and I’ll get it back to you ASAP

[@KINGKONG7630]

Should I use a bigger block for a 13 inch?

[@KirkAllen-u2o]

What size wooden block for youth softball 11.5 glove

[@shammy313]

Any way to stiffen up a mitt? I have a Wilson A800 Optima and I would like to stiffen up the leather.

[@mavenbalm]

Hi and thank you for watching. The only thing I could recommend would be going to a thicker lace on the entire glove. Typically we use 3/16 but moving to 1/4 inch could do the trick.

[@shammy313]

@@mavenbalm so no real way to stiffen up the leather fingers?

[@mavenbalm]

@@shammy313 you could replace the felt in the fingers. That would for sure stiffen it up.

[@djr0975]

What’s your price to break a glove in

[@The_Glove_Nerd]

50 bucks How do I know I'm :D

[@thouser985]

first

[@someonedjsjbddj]

congrats you just turned your $300 dollar glove into a taco

[@mavenbalm]

Please let me know what I can do to improve? Can you please share some of the work that you’ve completed to help me?

[@bwayne3369]

Probably just buys the cheap gloves and never has had to break one in. Ignore ignorance like this and keep doing good work!

[@gmoney4980]

Do you do the hot water treatment every time you worked the glove on the bench?

[@mavenbalm]

@@gmoney4980 Yes. It helps relax the leather so we can work with it and shape it. Thanks for watching!
