I'm not sure what's more useful beskar or cut resistant gloves.

They're all somewhat uncomfortable, especially if you have larger hands. The steel mesh ones for oyster shucking are pretty clumsy, but effective. Maybe look at the Kevlar one. Amazon has some at a decent price - this one looks pretty nice, definitely able to handle more dexterous tasks.

I'm way too late to the party, but these have saved my hands with both cheese grating and drunk chopping while cooking! I wear the left glove when I'm chopping, and the right glove when grating. I haven't bled while cooking in months!

I’ve found gloves that are nitrile skins and cloth backs that work “well” assuming it’s not completely freezing. They have the “touch pads” feel to the skins part so they easier to interact w the screen. I use them for woodworking but have found that they cross over well too. Like these https://www.amazon.com/DEX-FIT-Resistant-Comfort-Washable/dp/B074DTJ5ML/ref=mp_s_a_1_16?dchild=1&keywords=skins+gloves+woodworking&qid=1605370506&sr=8-16 but the ones I’ve found are like $4/pair. Check your local hardware store

Absolutely something one can DIY. Just a word of warning though, sheet metal has really sharp edges. Definitely wear long sleeves and good gloves. I recommend those rubber-dipped kevlar gloves.

As far as material goes, you'll want the following:

• R-8 duct wrap (it's fiberglass insulation with metal foil on one side.
• FSK tape (foil tape with string reinforcement in it)
• Duct-knife (I'd recommend over a pocket knife, it has a longer blade and you don't go dulling your pocket knife)
• Plastic squeegee (Usually one comes in the box with the tape, but double-check)
• Pookie (mastic duct sealant)
• Paintbrush

Step one: smear pookie on the joints of the ductwork using the paintbrush. Follow the directions on the bucket regarding curing time.

Step two: use the duct knife to slice off enough insulation to go once around the duct. It should overlap just a little bit. The knife works best when you cut against a hard surface, and cut it with the foil side down so you get a cleaner cut.

Step three: use FSK tape to secure one side of the insulation piece to the ductwork, and use the squeegee to rub it on good. The heat you generate during this rubbing is what properly activates the adhesive, so DO NOT SKIMP ON THE RUBBING.

Step four: wrap the insulation piece around the duct and secure the seam with more tape.

Step five: repeat steps two-four on the segment of duct immediately next to the part you just got done with.

Step six: tape the seam between the two segments of insulation.

Step seven: repeat until all metal ductwork is covered.

The plenum is going to be a little tricky to do since normally it's done before the ductwork is attached to it. Just try to cut it to fit in as few pieces as you can manage.

Other tips: don't pull the insulation too tight, the trapped air is a big part of what makes the insulation do it's job. Pull it so it lays flat on the duct with no slack, but don't try to stretch it.

As far as where to get the supplies, I would recommend Johnstone because I know it's relatively easy to make an account there. Just walk in and talk to the counter guy, explain your project, they should be willing to sell to you. The only things they won't sell to you is refrigerant and equipment, those require an EPA 608 and contractor's license respectively to purchase.

Thanks! The only benefit with the gloves I have is the rubber palm on them gives better grip when holding the wood. These are the the ones I use: https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B074DTJ5ML/

Which gloves came with your kit and what ones did you buy?

I currently use these:

They saved me from plenty of cuts (when I wear them) but they aren't stab proof. Gotta take care where that point is! :)

I have a few suggestions for you

1. Removable and Flexible build plate I recommend Easy peelzy

2. A good pair of cut resistant gloves what I use

3. Safer tools i use these the edges are rounded but still be careful they get very thin at the end

For wood carving, definitely recommend puncture and cut resistant gloves with a rubber coat on the inside. Example: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074DTJ5ML/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_Twg0DbP7C0M50
