Best protective arm sleeves according to redditors

I use sleeves like these in the piping industry to protect against high temp steam.

Ok. Did some reading.

I'm not going to sugar coat this because well, I don't believe in that.

Welcome to the dark side. We have goldfish crackers. (BTW my roommate was an aide for 20 years and said that they are convenient because if they are attacking you, you can throw them at them and it will distract them for a while.) Invest in goldfish crackers and fruit loops. They make good rewards.

Buy this book. I really wish someone had recommended me that book before I stepped into an autism classroom. I reread it now every once in a while and still learn new things.

Start here. Go through the rest of her blog. Subscribe to it. She runs an excellent easy to understand blog.

Visuals are insanely important. Subscribe to LessonPix. Your school may have Board Maker, but I find it very difficult to use. Plus, LessonPix is online based so you can create something at home and then access it at school or vice versa. It is like $36 a year, which is insanely cheap. For my visuals, I usually put a picture with the word on the bottom.

You will need velcro. Do not buy it from a store. This is a wholesale place online. They have the cheapest velcro out there. I buy coins so I don't have to cut it, it makes it a lot easier. If you are going to cut velcro, get titanium scissors. They will not gum up when cutting velcro. Have a system with your velcro so you don't have random patterns of velcro. I usually do soft on a surface and rough on anything that travels.

You are going to need a personal laminator. My binding has the cheapest 5 mil laminating sheets out there. Use 5 mil for anything that travels and if its going to stay on a wall, use 3 mil. 3 mil or 1 mil (what the school laminating machine uses) tears easily and doesn't last. Once you create something, you don't want to lose it. Most any laminator will do. I like the Fellowes brand. This is a very good one. That my binding website has some awesome deals on laminators. Whatever you get, just make sure it doesn't need a carrier sleeve to laminate because those are annoying. Just make sure that if you from 5 mil to 3 mil you switch the laminator over to 3 mil and let it cool or there will be a burning smell. To save time I bought one of these. Just makes cutting faster.

Don't overspend on stuff for the classroom. Look at oriental trading post. You can find a lot of stuff there. Sign up for the newsletter and wait from a free shipping coupon, don't pay for shipping.

Get yourself a couple pairs of these. I like the 18 inch ones. Make sure your tetnus shot is up to date.

You probably need to brush up on your evidence based practices for autism too.

I know this is a lot of information. But these are all things I wish people would have told me before I started teaching this level of autism kiddos. I went into it blind. I've had to put all this together through reading, training, and observation. Its easier just to be front loaded with the information.

My first year teaching, I was put in a K-1 mod/severe autism class (your setting 3). It was the first autism specific class at the school. Nobody gave me any support. I had no idea what I was doing. I had very little formal training on autism specific teaching. It was like being sucked into a vortex in deep water with nobody around to help me. I didn't even know where to go for information. That's why I try to help people and be completely honest. I'm not trying to overwhelm you.

If you need help and support, let me know. My MA.Ed is in Special Ed with a specialty in Autism Spectrum Disorder. I am teaching a class similar to yours at an elementary school level next year. I'm really good at dealing with behaviors and data too.

Everybody talking about how good OP looks, and they're not wrong. But i think the real question is, is the dude on OP's left (our right) wearing fake tattoo sleeves? His arms are paler than his hands and his face...

Shit like this - https://www.amazon.com/iToolai-Temporary-Tattoo-Sleeves-Unisex/dp/B01GYZX8D0/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1500064639&sr=8-12&keywords=fake+tattoo+sleeves

I've been wanting to get myself some knife resistant sleeves. https://www.amazon.com/BSX-Gear-Industries-BX-KK-18T-Resistant/dp/B0035X8L96/ref=lp_3019787011_1_1?srs=3019787011&ie=UTF8&qid=1479346158&sr=8-1

Yes, I know we are boycotting Amazon

Burn scars fade eventually but it takes a long time. Sunscreen will protect the scar from darkening-use it everyday on the affected area.

You could wear long sleeves, or if it's too hot, buy one of these Kevlar sleevesref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ZJSRCb6EBW9ZG) which seems excessive but it'll probs fix your issue and youll look like a real gamer.

I'm about to change your fucking life....

I'm a welder. I use these sleeves in the summer when a long sleeve shirt is too hot. They will give you an extra second or two before you get burned so might contact with the machine will help.

The gloves have a gauntlet, and are likely better than what they've given you.

I meant these

Here is my list I made for another post. It works from 60 to -10 or so.

Here are my recommendations for surviving a Boston winter:

Bibs, Base Layer, Leg Warmers, Arm Warmers, Thermal Jersey, Jacket, Helmet Cover, Toe Cover, Shoe Cover, Gloves, Balaclava & Socks.

This is almost exclusively Pearl Izumi because it fits me, I can get a good deal on most of it if I wait to buy and the quality is amazing. It is not cheap but I rode almost every week outdoors last year during one of the worst winters we have had in a long time.

Also, do yourself a favor and get a rear fender and wet chain lube. Also staying hydrated is very important as anyone would tell you but it is hard to drink cold water when it is cold so I find this stuff from Skratch Labs really helps. Be prepared to a lot more drive train maintenance due to the salt and sand you will get in your chain and cassette.

Let me know what you have questions on and I will be happy to report back. I don't use all of this on every ride, it is weather dependent but in the middle of winter, I certainly like being able to bundle up and then remove a layer or unzip when needed. It makes riding fun when the thermometer dips below 15°F.

If you dont want to wear sunscreen, at least get a few pairs of these.

Well, not gloves, but you can get some kevlar sleeves.

Something like this probably would!

Made for welding

I did some amateur glassblowing for about 4 years. In my experience, I burned my forearms far more often than I burned my hands. It was also almost always with hot metal things (blow pipes/rods, tools, parts of furnaces) rather than the glass itself.

That's just talking about 2nd degree burns though, the kind that will form a blister. It was quite common to get minor 1st degree burns (redness, minor persistent pain) just from radiant heat. This can happen when gathering glass from the furnace, reheating in the glory-hole, or just if the piece you're working on is big enough. To prevent this, you often have a partner shield your arm with a wooden paddle or make sure to open the furnace doors only as much as absolutely necessary. I would also sometimes wear a Kevlar sleeve like This.

I have pretty sensitive skin and I didn't find them itchy. Here's a link: Magid KVBK18TST RoadMaster Kevlar Sleeve with Thumb Slot, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007USBRP2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_5rFuybYQJEJBD

I used ankle protectors mainly 'cause that's what I had on hand and they fit me tightly and the fabric was very thick. ( :

saw this on amazon, lighting deal too!

I'd also like to suggest these non-leather FR sleeves.
https://www.amazon.com/Lincoln-Electric-Flame-Resistant-Welding-Sleeves/dp/B00LB7AYAW

I wear them all the time doing mig/stick vertical and overhead and they hold up just fine. No holes or anything, and they aren't as hot/heavy as leather.
It's an option :)

Also, we probably should have this to remind ourselves not to theif again... >.<

I was fostering some cats that were friendly ferals and bought these for when I trimmed their nails.

Best pet related money I've ever spent.

I’m getting these (as recommended by the top rated comment).

Just got to get yourself a set of these bad boys.

Cycling arm sleeves under my armor to hold in warmth:

you can cut off the gauntlets on the desired elbow pad you want.

planet eclipse makes elbow pads with a very minimal hand gauntlet. you can easily fit gloves over them or simply cut them off.

exalt also makes elbow pads with a very minimal hand gauntlet.

Here are so I could find that do not cover the hand:

My mom uses these for her DVD's and Blu-Rays. You can get something like this and just get little containers/baskets from places that sell house decor.

i have a meager 200+, and so i bought these sleeves... all stored in a plastic storage container you get at department store. I used cut out cardboard to make "dividers" for alphabet sections: #-E, F-J, K-O, P-T, U-Z.

anything i really like i keep in their original case.

wearing 3 layers, i have 2 pairs of gloves on. I can't wear the sleeves when taking it out with the new foundry because i need to get deeper in and need more finger protection.
Here is a link to the two i wear during this process.

Saving up to buy the tongs i need to prevent that issue. I won't be firing it up again till i can get them.

I wear my mask when i am not pouring because i need to be able to see and masks fog up to much causing it to be more risky.

The flip lid and massive interior space of the foundry cuts down drastically on the risk of popping molten aluminum even leaving the foundry. After that, not doing stupid things with molten metal is key. Putting cans right-side up is the biggest way to stop that.

Using a cast iron ingot mold cuts down on the risk of popping. I still preheat the mold though of course.

The problem with the original foundry is the lid broke. I tried a new foundry based off my research and coming up with a more safe method to melt all my stuff. I used the king of random approach in my first. The lid simply didn't last sadly.

Do you have any comments about the foundry?

Edit: thanks for the concern
