Fix a burnt glove
In a momentary lapse of reason the other day I grabbed the hotass woodstove damper at the hut. In the process I burned a few holes in my Marmot Randonee gloves

The material that burned on the finger is some sort of stretchy stuff (kinda like a soft shell)

The stuff on this one is rip stop.
So what might work on this? Epoxy? Superglue
Looking for something other than ducttape as I think it might hamper my dexterous as fuckness.....

Dip that finger in Plasticoat...you know that shit that you dip wrench handles in?

That "Seam Grip" Universal Repair Kit that is sold at just about every Backpacking/Sporting Goods store should do the trick.
Edit: They have it at REI is Missoula. I've used it to fix boots, sleeping pads, jackets, etc. I used it to fix a hole in my rainfly 2 years ago and its still holding up!!!

DUCT TAPE!! :D Waterproof, and gives you true dirtbag cred...

Seam Grip (or Liquasole) plus after it has dried, some dacktape on top (and gently use a lighter to "fuse" the ducktape in the fabrics).

Definitive Answer:
1) Cut small round piece of nylon/cordura/whatever slightly larger than the burn.
2) Seam Grip or Aquaseal around the affected area
3) Place patch over Aquaseal.
4) Apply another layer of Aquaseal over patch.
5) Wait for Aquaseal to dry.
I did this 5 years ago on a knee patch on my ski pants and I am pretty sure that is still the most durable part of those pants.
