DU ballplayers, help - I need to break in a glove fast
Any suggestions. I'm sitting on it as I type. Do you have to use glovolium or will any oil do? Ever use vegetable oil? And if you oil a glove, do you have to wait for a certain period before you use it?

1. Use...
Mink Oil, and make sure the glove is WARM when you do it. :)

6. My husband puts a ball in the glove and then
wraps it with elastics. The oil he uses is a glove oil.
