Gingerbas Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Hi I,m looking for a supplier for Polymer paste as Fballs no longer make it and Marshall Coppin, Algeos and Birches no longer stock it!! I have tried Hirschkleber craft paste but to no avail. anyone out there with a similiar paste to polymer, also tried wood glue as its similiar but hardens up too much. Any ideas??? I'm using it for sticking in heel counters and toe puffs in shoe manufacture and these are wet during manufacture...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobblers Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 have you tried kids pva glue? it's a weaker form of wood glue and has a bit more elasticity. rick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Might I gather that you are using a Thermoset rather than a Thermoplastic adhesive? Have you tried the very flexible Wood Flooring adhesives, F.Ball used to make them I think but try this website. http://www.rewmar.co.uk/home.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
