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.              Yes Jim, You Only Have To Think About It       Bob La Londe       ----------------------------------              If you find or make a hole in the back of hand side of the liner you could       poke the finger tips through it to apply some glue to their shell side. I've       had good results fixing delaminated shoe soles etc with Shoe Goo.              After use I grease the cap threads and put a piece of aluminized snack bar       wrapper over the tube end to slow evaporation. When it gets thick anyway I       unroll the crimped bottom and add some paint thinner. When a glue tube cap       cracked I patched it enough to tighten by pressing on a washer bored on the       lathe to fit. The plastic film over the spout end seals it. Sometimes       petroleum jelly on the threads is enough.              A small all-polyethylene dropper bottle of acetone is also handy for       maintenance, like rinsing out spray can nozzles. The droppers with rubber       bulbs haven't held up as well to solvents etc.              The other day I used the acetone bottle to show a neighbor which pens of his       had insoluble gel ink and are safe to write unalterable checks with. In       return for that and several easy (for me) no-tool repairs he gave me a thin       dark blue sweatshirt that had come as bait with a mailed donation request.       I'll use it as a cool weather work shirt that doesn't show dark car grease       or wood stove soot stains.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
