Abstract: A method of applying a slip-resistant surface to a hand covering, for example a glove, in a mold, comprising the steps of: a. placing a swatch of a host material in the mold, b. applying a slip-resistant material to the mold, c. applying heat and pressure to the slip-resistant material thereby bonding the slip-resistant material to the host material to produce a composite material, and d. constructing a hand covering using at least the swatch of composite material. The method may also include the step of cutting the swatch of composite material into a desired shape either before or after molding. The hand covering is constructed using the swatch of composite material and a second material, which may be the host material, the composite material or any other material. The slip-resistant surfaces may comprise a texture, and the hand covering may comprise a plurality of slip-resistant surfaces.
