7. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What surface preparation is required for optimal bonding?
A: For a permanent bond, surfaces must be clean, dry, and abraded. We recommend abrading with sandpaper to remove gloss and contaminants, followed by cleaning with a specialized primer or degreaser (we offer compatible products). Proper preparation is the most critical step in any successful shoe glue repair.
Q2: Is this adhesive suitable for repairing all types of shoes, including running shoes and leather dress shoes?
A: Yes. Its flexible, waterproof nature makes it perfect for athletic shoes with EVA midsoles and rubber outsoles. Its transparent color and strong bond also make it ideal for delicate repairs on fine leather goods, including dress shoe soles and heels.
Q3: What is the recommended application method?
A: For precision, we recommend application with a cartridge gun for 500ml tubes or a brush for larger containers. Apply a thin, even layer to both surfaces, allow to become touch-dry (3-5 minutes), then join and apply firm pressure for 30-60 seconds.
Q4: How do we store the adhesive, and what is its shelf life?
A: Store in a cool, dry place between 10-25°C (50-77°F) with the lid tightly sealed to prevent moisture curing. The shelf life in unopened, original packaging is 18 months from the date of manufacture.
Q5: Do you offer private label or custom formulation services?
A: Absolutely. We work with many B2B clients on private label programs and can discuss custom formulations to meet specific viscosity, cure speed, or performance requirements for your unique shoe glue repair or manufacturing processes.
