Sticking Suggestion Help

[alxfer]

Hi, I currently have a customer who has a 12mm raise on a safety boot which I do. The problem is he works in a place where they wash down the floor area every evening using warm to hot water. After a couple of weeks, he brings the boot back for resticking. The whole build comes away as one piece.

Due to the material on the bottom of the boot, I use Renia Rehagol along with Bostik 5050.

I have tried different ways of doing the raise; 1st a layer of thin resin, followed by EVA Micro, And just straight EVA Micro.

One issue there is; He needs a good grippy sole and heel and I have been using Moncayo S + H for this.

Could it be that the sole and heel is too heavy for the build? Or is it the hot water just softening the glue?

Is there a temperature efficiency for Bostik 5050?

Is there someone out there who has encountered this problem and found a solution? (sorry for the pun).

Thanks

if the whole build is coming away then its the initial bonding which is the problem not the weight of the raise try using the renia ortec glue that should solve your problem

i've had this problem before and used 5 min epoxy never had the problem again, hope this helps.

Is the raise on the heel only? If so put it inside the boot!

Hi Gingerbas, seems to be sorted with the Devcon solution. Ta to all who responded.

Use 5-10% Renia Hardener with Renia Colle de Cologne.
