Electrolysis of Baking Soda separated by semi permeable membrane
The primary problem is too low permeability = too high resistence of the gloves, causing high voltage drop where it should be minimal one. 

The gloves are not hydrophilic enough for electrolyte soaking to get low resistance.

The remaining voltage - after subtracting the glove voltage drop - is not high enough to cause electrolysis by significant current.

You may try to use a salt bridge, as a passthru vessel with porous glass ends, or a gel formed from an electrolyte solution.

You may also want to try a compartment created from a glued filtration paper, or other hydrophilic porous material, impregnated by an electrolyte, preferably sharing one of ions with both free solutions.

For the paper, be aware  of the same leveling on both compartments, otherwise. the paper will do its major purpose filtering. Eventually, more compact paper may be better, like the thick charts for paper painting.
