Frequently Asked Questions For SmudgeGuard®

SmudgeGuard® works the same way a smock or apron would. It is worn as a shield to protect the side of your hand and pinky from unwanted smudges. As an added benefit, SmudgeGuard® also eliminates the friction between your hand and the surface of your work so that your hand glides easily over paper and tablets.

What is the difference between the SG1 (1-finger glove) and the SG2 (2-finger glove)?

The only difference between the SG1 and the SG2 is that SG1 covers the pinky while the SG2 covers both the ring finger AND the pinky. You see, some people draw by resting only their pinky on the tablet for support while others may rest BOTH their ring finger AND the pinky finger. So, it is a personal preference. For instance, if both your ring finger and pinky rests on the tablet or paper while drawing, then you may consider buying the SG2. In this way, your ring finger won't smudge the tablet. The SG2 will also provide more protection against friction and allows your hand to glide easier.

Does the SmudgeGuard® glove work for palm rejection? I'm hoping it will allow my hand to rest on the tablet while I'm drawing so that I won't make unintentional inputs with my hand.

Yes, the SmudgeGuard® glove can be worn on either the right hand or the left hand. :)

SmudgeGuard® is made of Nylon and Spandex. The fabric is similar to swimwear and cycle wear that is soft, smooth and sleek. Nylon and Spandex is used because it is tablet friendly (it WON'T scratch your tablets), it is durable, fits snug to your hand and glides over paper or tablets easily when writing or drawing fast.

Unfortunately, the SmudgeGuard® will not eliminate graphite or ink smudges on art paper surfaces. Please continue to use caution when drawing on art paper surfaces.

Wacom users use SmudgeGuard® as an accessory to eliminate hand friction. The problem begins when the hand starts to sweat. Then, the sweaty hand starts to stick to the tablet making it difficult to move across the surface. By wearing this partial glove, the hand will glide more easily. There will be no more sticking or rubbing against the tablet. No more friction! Drawing will be more accurate, enjoyable and efficient.

In addition, it keeps the surface of your expensive tablets cleaner! You won't smudge the tablet screen with sweaty, greasy or oily hands anymore.

If I do both pencil artwork AND use a Wacom tablet, should I get 2 gloves for each method of drawing? Would I be getting graphite all over my pen/tablet if I use one glove for both methods?

Yes, if you have more than one method of drawing, we would suggest getting a separate glove for each. It would be a good precaution.

SmudgeGuard® should feel snug and comfortable. But it should not feel tight nor restrictive. If you experience any discomfort, discontinue use immediately. Let us know your concerns and you can exchange it for a bigger size or get a complete refund of the purchase price within 30 days of your order date.

Please note that the SmudgeGuard® glove is NOT a mass produced item. It is a high quality item that is hand-sewn with the utmost care and precision. Surprisingly, it is more difficult to sew for smaller items than for larger items because it takes more time and attention to sew around the finer details. We also take the time to check each and every glove to make sure it passes the quality control standards.

I noticed that the size guide says to place your right hand palm down on the ruler with the index finger against zero inches. But if I am left-handed, shouldn't I measure my left hand?

Yes, you may choose to measure your left hand as well. Most of the time, the left and right hand measure almost the same so we just chose to measure the "right hand" because it's easier to place the right index finger against zero inches of the ruler. But you may choose either your left or right hand to measure.

Yes! Just call or email us and we'll take care of it immediately! Please note that your satisfaction is VERY important to us. We will do our very best to serve your needs and to make your experience with us the best.
