   Yep, You Only Have To Think About It

   I like to try to mention things that are good.  Not just whine about   
   things that aren't, but as I pointed out before it seems like the moment   
   I praise something it goes south.   
      
   I've used a lot of welding gloves over the years.  The biggest issue is   
   my fault of course.  I cook off the fingers.  By the time I realize my   
   hand is getting hot the fingers are cooked into hard shrunken   
   caricatures of their former selves.  Most welding gloves are also stiff,   
   and the softer "TIG" gloves cook off easier than other welding gloves.   
      
   I've been using a pair of Vulcan Defender (Harbor Freight) welding   
   gloves for the last year or a little better, and I've been doing more   
   welding in the last couple years than I have in the past.  Just   
   yesterday I was thinking, "The gloves still haven't cooked of, and they   
   are much more flexible (for a welding glove) than others I have used.   
   While they aren't the perfect welding glove they might be the best one I   
   have used."  I was in the process of taking them off to walk inside and   
   post about them here on this very newsgroup, when the lining of the   
   right glove came out with my hand.   
      
   No, its not quite as comical as the mental image that might conjure up   
   for you.  The liner fingers came out of the leather fingers and part way   
   up the cuff of the glove.  I wasn't able to just push my fingers back   
   into to get it situated either.  I had to pull the liner most of the   
   rest of the way out of the glove, and one finger at a time poke a finger   
   into the liner to straighten it out.  Then I was able to one at a time   
   fit my fingers into the liner and push the liner back into the glove.   
   The glove is saved, but its going to be a pain in the wazoo to use from   
   now one.  I'll have to grab the finger tip of each finger and pinch the   
   liner in place as I extract my hand every single time I use it from now   
   on.
