I'll have to try that next time. When I got home, I turned the cuffs
inside out -- over the last couple days, that seems to have wicked
most of the moisture out.

I stuck a couple of 3" panel fronts [aluminum sticks] into a heating
grate in the ceiling and slide the gloves on. Toasty and dry, no
stuffing, no inside-outies or anything. Much easier.

It's the 8~12 hours of forced dry airflow more than the elevated temp,
per se that does the trick; also gets the figners.

Common sense warning: don't try this with electric baseboard heaters or
space heaters.

I disagree. Get silk liners from an Army/Navy store. Cost=$3. they are
lightweight, warm, and "not cotton."
