Could do em yourself, rubber is available from Serious cricket or John Copus, who I think now works for someone, there was a thread on this a while ago mate.
Some people might say Its not worth it but my view is if there a favourite pair do it.

You could do it like Jack Russell, just stick the rubber on as a complete sheet then cut round it.

'Barking' mad. check out his masterclass on you tube and you'll see what I mean

sorry to bring this back up, but does anyone know anywhere else that sells replacement palms for keeping gloves?

I know serious cricket sold them, but dont seem to have them anymore, or I cant find them anyway, want to re-vamp a pair of old favourites

I'd try Hunts County Bats mate.

Uncle Tony usually has a treasure trove of secrets stashed away, I'm sure pimple/octopus rubber sheeting would be sitting around in a box somewhere.
