Instructions
WARNING: EXCESSIVE USE OF
GlOVESMITH GLOVE HONEY, CONDITIONER, OR OIL WILL
DAMAGE AND SHORTEN THE LIFE OF YOUR NEW BASEBALL GLOVE.
APPLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF GLOVESMITH’S GLOVE HONEY OR
CONDITIONER TO A CLOTH AND USE THE CLOTH TO APPLY THE HONEY
OR CONDITIONER TO THE AREAS OF THE GLOVE THAT YOU WANT TO BE
FLEXIBLE, SUCH AS THE PALM, THE BREAK, AND THE WEB. WORK
THE GLOVE HONEY OR CONDITIONER INTO THE LEATHER EVENLY. DO
NOT APPLY IT DIRECTLY TO THE BALL GLOVE AS IT WILL BE TOO
CONCENTRATED AT THE POINT OF APPLICATION.
PLAY
CATCH DAILY UNTIL THE BALL GLOVE IS READY FOR GAME PLAY,
75-100 CATCHES PER DAY FOR 1 TO 2 WEEKS. IF AFTER A WEEK
THE GLOVE IS STILL TOO FIRM, APPLY ADDITIONAL HONEY OR
CONDITIONER AND CONTINUE TO PLAY CATCH.
AT
THE END OF EACH SEASON PRIOR TO STORAGE APPLY THE GLOVE
HONEY OR CONDITIONER VERY
LIGHTLY ON
THE FINGER TIPS, AND INSIDE THE LINING TO KEEP THE LEATHER
FROM BECOMING BRITTLE. AGAIN APPLY THE HONEY OR CONDITIONER
WITH A CLOTH.
STORE
THE GLOVE IN A DRY PLACE WITH A BALL IN THE POCKET TO
MAINTAIN SHAPE.
KEEP
THE LEATHER LACING IN YOUR GLOVE PULLED TIGHT, AS THE LACES
WILL STRETCH WITH USE. NOTE THE DEGREE OF LACE TENSION WHEN
THE GLOVE IS NEW, AND TRY TO MAINTAIN THIS TENSION. ALWAYS
KEEP KNOTS TIED. IF A LACE COMES UNSTRUNG OR BREAKS, BE
SURE TO RESTRING IT THROUGH THE PROPER HOLES TO AVOID DAMAGE
TO THE GLOVE.
THE ABOVE INSTRUCTIONS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED TO
MAXIMIZE THE LIFE OF YOUR BASEBALL GLOVE. THERE ARE ALWAYS A
NUMBER OF OFF THE WALL TECHNIQUES THAT ARE SUGGESTED TO HELP
BREAK-IN BASEBALL GLOVES. THEY ARE GENERALLY SHORT CUTS THAT
REDUCE THE LIFE OF YOUR BALL GLOVE.
