Jdaddy, I'm 100% in agreement with you on the heat issue, but water does not hurt a glove. Of course I talking pouring warm water in the pocket to wet the leather, not soak through to the padding and weigh the glove down. Water temporarily delinks leather fibers, they relink as the glove dries. Two very effective ways to get a glove to form to your DD's hand.......go outside, pour warm water in the palm, plus have another container of warm water that she can put her glove hand in, have her put her warm wet hand inside the glove and just throw, play catch and throw hard for 30 minutes. That's the best way to get a glove to form to her hand! Let the glove dry and then do it again, several times if necessary. Once dry, if the glove actually feels dry, put a light coat of Lexol on it.

I'm old school like you and I haven't done this in awhile, but it does work really well with no harm/damage to the glove. But I absolutely do NOT steam, bake, microwave, deep fry, or broil a glove.......ever! I hate it when I have to keep a glove in a hot car in the Summer. Heat & sweat are glove killers, especially sweat!!
