How to dry your drygloves.

I got the ones without removeable lining (they weren't available
at the exact moment I needed them) so I had to buy a cheap hair
dryer and duck-taped some plastice tubes on the end to blow air
into the glove.

But Real Men have tendons that allow water into their sleeves.

I didn't buy a fucking $1500 drysuit to get back on the boat with wet
arms and feet.

'Tis but a minor annoyance and you don't have to put up with the complicated
business of drying your dry gloves.

No... I just have to put up with the complicated business of
completely rinsing and drying my DRYSUIT!

Ever turn yours inside out?

I did after every trip.
Soak it in the tub for a couple of hours, turn it inside out and hang
it.
48 hours later, turn it right side out and hang it.
48 hours later, roll it up and stuff it into the bag for next time.

Hmmm... That cold, then... Does anyone dive wet up there? If so, what
thickness wetsuit do they need?

LOL!

Or...just buy a hair dryer that comes equipped with a SWITCH that turns off
the heat when you don't want it. No need to modify the hair dryer in the
first place. Or to have to dry gloves this way either, but somehow I think
all of you would find a way to have a problem anyway.

Man, all of you folks simply insist on implementing screwed up solutions,
just so you get the chance to build something to "fix" the problem. You
guys should just get it over with and buy a rebreather so you have something
to play with. in your shop.

We have rebreathers. I made mine from old hair dryer parts and PVC, using
dry gloves for the counterlungs.

What bullshit. The hairdryer in the picture has such a switch.

Go ahead. Make My Minute. Ask me why I don't use it with the heat off.
