new job vulcanizing

[OilPatch197]

im from north east arkansas but im working in poplar bluff missouri. I work at gates making new rubber hoses for bigger trucks and and replacement hoses for other vehicles.

If you look at the letters and numbers stamped on your hoses and it says EBP or EBP0 then it was made in our plant. i thought it was a cool thing to know

That's top of the line stuff! Just bought a Gates belt from NAPA, it is the best and the most expensive.

BTW have you tried hand lotion? At our place of work we just use the Blue nitrile gloves with cotton liners...the ones that always rip if you get them caught on flash or something.

There is also some G-TEK "Maxifoam" gloves. We are provided with them also.

Premium Foam Nitrile dipped white nylon gloves. Foam nitrile is designed to channel oil away form the glove surface for an excellent grip. Excellent wet & dry grip. Perfectly contoured hand shape for the ultimate fit. Excellent dexterity, sensitivity and tactility.
