Default RE: Use a glove to handstart large engines!!

I have a really good starting glove with rubber padding on the back of the fingers.

I always wear it when starting my SPE40, unfortunately however I got too close the other day and managed to get my non-starting hand into the prop arc[:@]. (Engine had just started and I was moving around to get behind the prop before revving up).

Took a fair slice of skin but fortunately not too deep. Finger now healed fine.
