    I have a small cyclone pencil blast cabinet sold by Rio that  had
    absolutely miserable gloves-- they were  rather small and thin and
    were near impossible to install and keep installed. They did not last
    long as the material rapidly decayed.. I replaced them with $5.95
    blasting gloves from Harbor Freight.. These are installed by using a
    4 inch PVC pipe couplings that they fit over and then this assembly
    then slides  into the port with great ease.  You should use the sch
    40 couplings (about .30 inch thick) rather than the thin ones. The
    nearest home depot only has the thin ones now. You can find blast 
    and glovebox  gloves at:

    Regular blast gloves are pretty heavy but they work for me. Also look
    at glove box or dry box gloves.
