Which Glue


Recommended Posts

Thank you for the offer Elfman, I have a tin of syntic total on its way and would appreciate advice on use (ie minimum heat and use of primers)

If I am still stuck (or not) I will see if the customer minds the wait while I send them to you. Much appreciated, Elfman, thanks

Use the primer or kumzoff then syntic. only heat the material not the shoe & only enough heat to get them to stick, this takes a little bit of practice, any hotter & they'll lift any cooler & they won't stick in the first place.

 

Good luck.

both lee and steve make good points tommy if possable allways do a thru sole and try to use like for like material .i.e use a micro with a high rubber content but is flexable if it is to rigid then you will have problems and if its to soft and porous then it will seperate after a while, and as lee said it is about timing and it takes practice

also try the renia hardner . 1st use your rehagel primer.

the slop some glue into a cup or simular (only the amount for the job) add a few drips or drops of said renia hardner mix and apply. this does go off quite quick, don't really heat just warm the soles maybe. sometimes i do 2 coats of glue the second being normal renia colle decolgne. DON't ADD THE HARDNER TO your glue pot.

as elfman said you can always longsole with micro but you have to use the good stuff delite, no cheap and cheerful micro if you use the really thin sheeting you can use this as your base then add whatever sole you desire.

goos luck
