- I have some Fieldsheer gloves that used to turn my hands blue just
- from sweat alone. I finally got fed up with it and decided to just
- rinse the excess dye out of them in water. The amount of dye that
- came out of those gloves was increidable! I must have soaked and
- kneeded those things for an hour and the dye continued to flow out of
- them. I dried them out and treated them with neatfoot compound and
- they are much better and look no different now than they did before.
