Ive tried to shrink them with hot water and steam. They didnt shrink enough to matter.. Which glove are you shooting?
I started using the BW stic tite a year ago and love it

I put a little string wax on my fingers before putting on my glove. Keeps the finger stalls in place.

In my gloves that get a little loose I cut a small strip of thin leather and super glue it the back inside the fingers.

dont over stretch it with a pair of needle nose pliers after heating in hot water either LOL!   makes me want to go back to a tab for for the sake of ease.

forgot...when you cant find any bat wax...dont use fly tying dubbing!  its too soft, dont ask how I know haha!

My stalls were loose too, so I sewed up the stitch deeper to take up the slack, maybe that would work? Good luck.

I had the same problem with an American Leathers glove.  I cut some pieces of adhesive bow silencer material, much like the soft side of Velcro, and stuck them in the inner/upper portion of each stall.
