Case Lining
I have a Hiscox case which I've had for (gawd thinking back it must be) 20 years - it came with the Lowden.
Recently the inside red 'velvet' lining has become detached from the internal polystyrene (or whatever) former.
It's still held in place at the rim, but as I close the lid the velvet flops, which means I'm never sure that the pad which is supposed to sit on the fretboard is in the correct place.
First thought was make a couple of nicks in the lining & use an adhesive spray, like the stuff you use for cardboard photo mounts. Then the slow part of my brain caught up - fumes from that could be detrimental to the guitar finish.
So, the question: any thoughts on the way forward? (It's nothing I can't live with if I have to).

just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
The consensus seems to be to contact Hiscox, so an email seems the way to go.
@TheMadMick I never thought about Copydex. Is it still made? Last time I remember seeing it must be early 70's. Also there would definitely be no more 'new wood' smell left!! I seem to remember it smelled like fermented cow dung!
doh !
