Loosen a baseball glove

1,Rub a thin layer of linseed oil or petroleum jelly over the entire glove,making sure that both the inside and outside of the glove are well lubricated.The oil or petroleum jelly should be absorbed by the mitt and not be dripping off.

2,Place your hand inside the baseball glove,and put a baseball in the pocket of the mitt where you would regularly catch a ball.

3,Remove your hand from the mitt,but keep the ball in place inside the mitt.

4,Wrap a bungee cord or rubber bands around the entire glove to keep the glove closed tightly.

5,Leave the glove in this position for three to four days. Then remove the bands and take the ball out.

6,Use the glove to play catch regularly and replace the ball and bands when you are not wearing the glove.
