How do you repair a baseball glove that has been chewed by your dog?

Answer 1

You can use a hairdryer or set it on a windowsill. The window magnifies the sun's light and heat so it will dry it quick without using electricity. It will work even better if you have a wooden windowsill that is brown or black. They have a lower albedo, (reflection of heat). I personally suggest the windowsill because it is eco-friendly!

Answer 2

In my case my pot mix chewed up the strings on my glove cuz he likes the rawhide. So just today I found an old glove and re stringed it. If its worse than that you may want to shop for another

Answer 3

It depends on how far gone the leather is. If it's rock hard, there is not much you can do. To prevent further damage, or if it's just dry, and stiff, you can add some moisture to the glove. Before conditioning your glove it would be a good idea to clean it first. Even if you feel the glove is not dirty removing any minor surface dirt will prepare the leather to fully absorb what ever conditioning you use. To clean the glove you can use a gentle leather cleaner like Lexol-pH Leather Cleaner, or Nokona Glove Conditioner which gives a nice glow to the leather once it's clean. Permatex Fast Orange Smooth formula Hand Cleaner comes highly recommended by hard core Glove collectors, and restorers. After the Glove is clean you could use Lanolin (Hydrous) This ointment is sold to treat dry skin, and can be purchased at your local pharmacy, Walgreens, Rite-aid etc. Professional major league Ballplayers use Lanolin to work their gloves in as well. lanolin will keep the glove supple, and its waterproofing properties will keep the glove from drying out. Horseman's One-step comes highly recommended. One-step works best on cowhide gloves, but it can also successfully clean horsehide and deer hide.
