So you want to be a "Slider" huh?

Have you visited a theme park during the Halloween season? I'm sure most of you have and if you have, you've seen Monsters that slide across the groud, creating a loud noise and sometimes sparks. This can be truely scary to guests, but to you, you might get a kick out of it. Have you ever wanted to be one of those guys/girls? Well now you can by making your own Slider gloves.

Steps to make Slider gloves:

Step 1: Buy leather baseball gloves, ones that will fit snug on your hands and finger tip

Step: 1

Step: 2 Go to Lowes or Home Depot and buy (according to your finger size) *for me it was this* 8, 3/8" 90* connector *side note* looks like an elbowish thing, comes in 2 parts, the part you need will have a rounded tip AND will have tabs on it, and then 2, 1/2" of the same thing. Buy washers that will cover a good ammount of your palm, look at my pictures to determine about the size you need

Step: 2

Step 3: Buy a lot of Super Glue *you will need more superglue that what is displayed* and PL *PL is polyurethane premium construction adhesive

Step: 3

Step 4: Dis-assemble the elbow piece and cut the tabs so that you will have a nicely shaped finger

Step: 4

Step 5: Have glove on a hand, doesn't matter which one

Step: 5

Step 6: Apply enough PL to cover the metal piece, *BUT NOT TOO MUCH*
