I must admit, in over 50 years I have never used a glove to start my engines, I have always found them cumbersome. I place my fingers on the front of the properly prepared blade mounted in the 11:00 o-clock position on full compression and follow through like I mean business. I don't know what to say about those that shove their hands into a running propeller often, I think I might take up something else after a couple of rodeos of that though.
