They probably aren't "rated" for this, but I believe they would be helpful.

I use these leather gloves for working around the bbq heat no problem. These should work for you for your mirror removal task. You might also want to take a look at "fillet glove" for a skoosh more dexterity, these gloves are used to protect hands from knife when processing fish.

After looking at fireplace gloves these look to be the same thing. I'm not sure fireplace gloves will give you any more protection than these will. I can tell you they're very thick, so they may provide the adequate protection you're looking for.

They are not easy to remove. I don't have heated mirrors, so not sure how they would affect those.

It's doubtful. The glue is a pretty strong epoxy and I think you'd destroy the mirror trying to remove it. I'd consider it permanent.

This is Ken over at Nurturing Planet. I cannot say for sure that you will find the mitts perfect for you. I have had a very few ladies with very small hands say that they love the mitts, but that they find them unwieldy, and have returned them. I would say that if anyone else will use them besides you, then you will find them a very good compromise for a "multiple person" kitchen. I would suggest you try them. Returns are not a problem, and you can get all your money back if they just don't work well for you. Looking forward to your decision. :)

They cool. Twist. Might consider using vinyl gloves to get them off initially. They should time. If that doesn't work I might consider returning them.

A long time ago, a band I was in had a NYC stage carpenter build 2 big frames like 6'x4' .. he tightly wrapped the Mylar around the frames then stapled it to the back, lastly he tightened it all up by carefully, gently using a heat gun on the Mylar..The results were fantastic: an smash proof wall mirror 12 ft long - 4 ft high. Not as good as a real mirror but good enough for us. He explained there were 2 types of Mylar, the fire fire resistant one wasn't as clear as the one that was "very flammable"..I am about to redo these same frames I miraculously dug out of storage [and this is how I saw the question.]Hope this helps, Good luck!

I am not sure the smooth surface of the mirror would create enough "grab", oddly enough you know what might work well is good old fashioned water soluble glue sticks, I use them a lot in my sewing, they hold well and are easy to clean up, plus cheaper :)

Our is the same way, we decided to buy the "extreme Velcro" and cut it into pieces. We used the velcro to adhere to around the door frame and house and it's worked like a charm. We ended up doing this on two doors, and it works so well, we left if up over thew winter. We only have to replace one piece of velcro that came off the house (adhesive wore off). By far the best solution. The velcro is here: VELCRO - Industrial Strength - Extreme - 4" x 1" Strips, 10 Sets - Titanium

I think you would be fine picking up a burning log if you're only looking to shift its position or relocate it quickly within a fire. If you plan to take your time holding a log, these would not be a great option. You will quickly feel heat through them with prolonged direct contact to heat sources, and you risk burning the glove as well. Brief exposure might be okay, depending how hot the flame is burning.

These are pretty big ones and really thick also...you could try a hardware store or online. They are the best staying of any I've seen. You have to peel them from a tab on the corner to even get them off.

I've used the gloves as oven mitts, to protect my forearms when I reach way back into the oven. They work perfectly for my purpose. As to sharp objects, I can't say, but they are made of fairly thick suede leather, to prevent burns, and I would imagine it would take a very sharp object, propelled with considerable force, to penetrate them. I wouldn't use them as gauntlets for protection from saber thrusts, or to shuck oysters, however.

I wouldn't trust these on glass. I followed all the instructions about preparing the wall and installing them. They actually came loose while just hanging on the wall!, leaving me relieved and grateful that my elderly Mom had not tried to use them to enter and exit the tub. Without knowing your exact application, you might want to check out the suction dent pullers sold at automotive repair stores. They are inexpensive and really work.

You might try getting her some gloves, like Playtex gloves that you use for doing dishes. The grip on them is pretty good, and it would take some of the work out of getting them on and off. I have an elderly friend that uses them to get his stockings on, and it helps him. Getting them off with the gloves might help also, but it sometimes takes practice getting your foot into position to be able to pull them off, especially if she is inflexible. I hope this helps you.

Hi Suze, the gloves are great for camping related tasks, although they are definitely not designed to be in direct contact with any actual flame. In addition, campfires are easily in excess of 425 degrees Fahrenheit so great caution should be taken when using them near embers/flame etc. I hope that helps! I'm always here to answer anymore questions :) -Zach, Owner

Go to a hardware store and try gloves on. I would go up if you aren't sure.

Easier than pulling the gloves inside out, I find, is to put an empty paper towel/toilet paper roll inside each one. I store them that way too (in a bucket or cabinet) and they are always ready to put on.

These gloves are pretty thin, you can get a "better" brand that might stand up to shall or varnish, but almost no latex glove will hold up against thinner or mineral spirits or petroleum products
