15 minutes at 350F is a lie. - Lemmy.World

I have always broken in my gloves with oil and practice. I decided to hurry this one along by using the suggested oven tip I have heard about in the past. “Oh, just put your glove in the oven!” I never believed them, because I feared it would catch fire. I thought I was wrong. My Easter was ruined today.

Y tho
Because I am used to my soft, leather, Mizuno, Fastpitch glove that I had for years, and now it’s gone. I was left looking at this cheap, new, Rawlings glove, wondering how I was going to break it in by next week.
Upvoted because I feel like you already caught enough shit for a simple mistake.
Yeah, I scored 97th percentile on the ASVAB, had a 4.2 GPA leaving high school, and had a federal scholarship in a STEM field. Right now I’m listening to an elderly relative call me stupid for trying to quickly condition this glove in the oven. An elderly relative that failed all of his grade school math courses, beat me as a child, and do worse things to me as a child/teen (that I can’t even say online). Thanks for the upvote.
This doesn’t seem the time for bragging.
I’m not bragging. I’m just trying to verify that I’m not some idiot while my relative treats me like crap for burning a cheap glove. Everyone always thinks I’m bragging. You should hear the way “dad” discusses me. No one brags on me, so trust me, I never learned to brag.
Everyone’s an idiot sometimes.
