I got some gloves at the local auto parts store that claim to be heat resistant. I guess they work, but it feels about the same as the ole Wells Lamont gloves I got at Lowes.

It is him, guaranteed. But he learns fast! He only grabbed a hot head 4 or 5 times and then quickly learned not to do that. John, The epoxy breaks down around 250F but the outside of the head will be hotter since it takes awhile for the heat to transfer to the inside of the hosel. Not sure what it would get to and that would depend on the material of the head. I use regular thick leather work gloves and they work fine, but then I don't have a long term relationship with the head either.
