O wise words my daughter - I have used the blunt end of a new pencil more than once - ideal for the job.

We spent some time trying to push it back with the ball-end of a brake lever - strangely it seemed to go all the way to the end, yet my finger, which is roughly the same size, didn't

The shop suggested a knitting needle (blunt end); I don't know if smaller is better for this?

They've got my gloves at the moment; will bear this in mind for the future ...

Thanks,

Richard

Not entirely, the "membrane" is supposed to let moisture pass one way but not the other. Gore-Tex was originally used to create artificial heart valves. Now there are many imitators and a lot of other uses including gloves & boots etc etc.

I note that my Gore-Tex lined boots come with a warning not to use traditional leather preservatives as this interferes with the ability of the boots to breath.

It's likely glue would inhibit breathability a whole lot more than boot polish. One day if I'm feeling daring I might try and remove the lining from my jacket or pants to see how they're held together. But not tonight thanks

Lining coming loose in waterproof gloves... I've run into that problem with cheap gloves that were glued together (guess what happens when your hands sweat? The glue comes unstuck), but have never had a problem with my $200 Spidi NT gloves. They have a removable inner glove, that is stiched inside-out (so there are no seams to irritate your skin), so you put the inner glove on then slide your hand inside the outer glove, which is waterproof. They're comfy as, have never had wet hands and they have lasted for years and years. I don't know if Spidi still make them.

I just suggest next time don't take them off! Because the last thing you want to do is pull a knitting needle out at the top of the hill. I do suggest a second set for when these happen! A dry set and wet set

Has the advantage that if I have to cut the lining out, I could knit a new one ... if I could remember how to knit ...

I was thinking of just a blob at the fingertip. That's what I'm tempted to do if it happens again, and I have to dismantle them. I figure a little blob of silicone in each fingertip should do the job, while retaining breathability round the sides.
