Any recommendations for a lubricant to help with stuffing boot liners back into the shell ?
I'm the de facto care taker of my family's ski equipment, including boots, of course. Some of our boots have liners that come out and go back in really easy, like the Intuition liner for Full Tilt boots. The same for my recently acquired Dalbello Panterra since the shells of those boots open really wide, having the "cabrio" design - Similar to the Full Tilts.
However, stuffing back the liners into the traditional 4 buckle boot shell is always a fight and I'm concerned about damaging the liners when putting them back after drying. I don't like using anything that has petroleum based lubricant or even a propellant since I'm concerned about its possible effects (negative) on the plastic of the shell or the liner.
Talcum powder sort of helps, but it's far from being really functional.
I have some silicone spry but I that stuff smells a like WD40, so I'm sure it has petroleum lubricants in it as well. Don't really want to use that.
Any suggestions ?
