   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.

   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.
