Neoprene glove alteration?!?!

SOS *** SOS *** SOS *** SOS *** SOS

I must have some "crazy-small" thumbs or something.

When I bought my first pair of neoprene gloves about 3 years ago, they were 2XS and they fit well enough but were hard to get on after the 1st dive. So I went to Small gloves. Mind you, I have smaller hands, but they aren't tiny. The gloves are awesome EXCEPT for the thumb. There is about 3/4 inch of extra material on the ends of the fingertips which makes manipulating gear really difficult.

Does anyone know if this can be tailored? If so, any recommendations of someone/place that could do it? Thanks in advance.

Razor blade and aqua seal should take care of that problem. For what it would cost for someone else to do it you could buy another pair of gloves.

Sounds like a good DIY project. It you want to stitch it after gluing get some nylon upholstery thread.
