Got a pair of gloves that you just don't want to repalm just yet or don't want to send them off?
I have made this quick and dirty DIY on how to repalm your gloves using stuff found at local retailers.
Basically you use a hand needle to sew the patch on. The thicker threading will make it a worthwhile assignment (took me 45 min). You can choose to simply just sew the patch on and be done with it, but I wanted the patch to last.
Since I shoot primarily right (ambidextrous), I wanted the spot where the palms get the most action to be durable. A coating of Shoe Goo® will ensure that it will protect the palm for a long time while also not interfering with grip. I use Shoe Goo® on my toe caps of my skates and occasionally to coat my blade tape when player roller.
Materials used:
Adhesive Spray (to align and stick the pre-cut patch to sew in place.)
Coats & Clark Outdoor Thread (nice and thick and strong)

Shoe Goo®
(Can be found at most places for $4 or so)

$1.88 Outdoor working gloves (can provide you 10-12 patches or so)
Pretty much these right here: http://www.amazon.co...=outdoor gloves
You can find just about any matching palm material, they even have mustang palms for under $7 which can provided ample amounts of repairs
And here's the end result:
