Can anyone kindly advise as to how the hell I could get these to glue back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobblers Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 Prime with Kumzof or a similar thinner and then use your normal glue. Rick. gavin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathews Posted December 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 I have Chelsea 396 from Caswell and their Gripsotite S10 primer. Bostik 50/50 and of course super glue by GP Atom. My adhesive knowledge doesn't stretch any further than that. Happy to be educated though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a1shoecare Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 Multicolle should be ok The tek primer is good when used with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom D Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 my lord do they still make s10 primer or is it an antique tin and do you have a brush nailed through the lid kobblers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelCityShoes Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 396 should work fine on it’s own, if not rub it off and try 5050 but if the upper is plastic the 5050 will melt it so be careful On a side not, isn’t 396 heat activated? If it’s what I’m thinking of you could save yourself a lot of time switching glue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathews Posted December 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 396 is indeed heat activated. It bloody stinks and the fumes are immense but find me something that sticks rubber and leather better it's literally like shit to a blanket. I'll just try glue it with that unless anyone has any other solid suggestions from their experience I will order some new stuff and try. You would have thought that by now someone would have invented a contact adhesive that you can just plaster on plastic that sticks plastic like shit to a blanket too.

I am old school like that lol. The thing that I find is that Gripsotite sticks to plastic very well but then the 396 glue doesn't stick to the primer all that well so unless you lightly roughen up the primer after with a bit of sandpaper it's all a bit useless unless you are doing heels or leather and resin soles stitched on to plastic then it will suffice.

elfman Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 396 is not something I would use after trying it ,as for a contact adhesive that sticks plastic to plastic with no problem it has been invented and used fo a number of years before being discontinued as far as I know but do not know why as it was a very good one and would only ever use it for plastic if I could still get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 I use Bostik 6092 for most of my leather and rubber so would try this, if not maybe Evo-Stik Impact contact adhesive may work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathews Posted December 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 Rubbed with thinner. Primed with Gripsotite. Stuck with 396. Stuck quite well tbh. The key was leaving the primer and the glue lots and lots of time to dry out before heating activating the glue not too much, not too little. On plastic I think too much heat affects the bond much easier. Still on the look out for something quicker and stronger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
