Simes Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 I wonder if anyone has any tips or ideas here. I am replacing some units on a pair of Leather boots. Really struggling to get the glue to hold these? I started with Bostik 6092on it's own and then tried a primer on both the soles and the leather. They just will not hold! What am I doing wrong? Primer and 50/50 do you think? I'm thinking it might be something in the leather hence I could strip off the leather stitch new leather on and then re-glue. But I don't want to do all that and end up with the same result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elfman Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 plus go over it with a new band that leather looks as if has burnt and not got enough of a rough surface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon there is something in the leather. The glue just seems not to "dry" if that the right word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K.J.Holmes Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 Hi, If hibsjo way hasn't worked for you which is the way i would do it and you say the first layer of glue won't dry as it normally would you could be right about the leather ( remember green leather anyone ! ) I would replace the leather with new like you said in original post and continue on. Maybe don't use leather and replace with a good midsole material if you want, just an idea. Simes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobblers.keys Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 2 hours ago, Count Muppet said: Is it that Dry Ped stuff? Yes that is dry-ped. It was around years ago. I have had one or two boots in with this recently I find primer, 6092,5050 etc doesn't work however if you cover the underside of the boot with a thin layer of superglue smooth it over then once dried thoroughly put 5050 on both sole and unit. Again let dry then slightly warm up and give a quick stick with the press then leave for a while before finishing off. Then the job should be good. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 If it is Dry-Ped or Dri-ped oak, you will not get anything to stick, best option is remove leather, replace with rubber or P.V.C stitch round and fit new sole unit. keithm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auto Key Wizard Posted March 5, 2022 Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 it's spelt DRI-PED and produced by DRI-PED Limited in Bolton Lancashire around the 1920's It is an oil/grease impregnated fine quality leather that was waterproof and generally lasted twice as long as other soling leather.
