I suppose that's a reasonable approach. Normally I taken leftover solution from hand-washing larger garments to do all the smaller stuff, thus the filling gloves and such like.
Generally, I have had really good results with the Nikwax water-soluble range. Great for reproofing shells, good on footwear, and good for stopping things from absorbing too much water (norwegian army shirts!!). It is slippery and of course that is really what you would expect from water repellent. One unfortunate aspect is that the result can vary depending upon the fabric concerned and its finish.
With gloves I have used it on leather gloves with polyester lining and nylon/kevlar mitts with polyester lining and it has made them far more usable in the winter mountains.
