I was just looking at my mtb shoes earlier and asking myself what to stick the soles back on with. Major delaminating occurring, might be terminal.I don't have any sort of gun so this might not work for me :/ unfortunately I also don't think I'd have any idea how to use one even if I did possess one!
It's a shame the national curriculum spent considerable hours teaching me what different drugs looked like and zero hours teaching me useful life skills like how to mend my shoes!
Lots of cavers are generally outdoorsy people who have a lot of wear & tear on their gear and a lot of experience fixing things. If you don't find the thread relevant to you, don't bother commenting. Do you have a better suggestion of who I might ask for such advice? Because the replies on this thread already (apart from yours) are far more helpful than any advice I could have received elsewhereSometimes i can't tell if I'm reading UK Caving or Mumsnet.![]()
I've used Shoe Goo for sticking the soles back on my Muddies wellingtons, which it's done very successfully. Sticks solidly and immovably.I don't think this thread recommends Shoe goo at all for sticking stuff ..........
I have also had success using Shoe Goo sticking soles back onto shoes (as I said above).I've used Shoe Goo for sticking the soles back on my Muddies wellingtons, which it's done very successfully. Sticks solidly and immovably.
Can't find any Silaflex on the website for Naylor Myers builders' merchants....................
Be warned the fumes off 2402 are fairly violentA very good cement is Bostik 2402 adhesive. Product code 30812389. It's a 2 part glue, mixed before use.
I use this to repair neoprene seals on drysuits, which are under high strain when dressing / undressing. Black Witch is nowhere near strong enough in this application but Bostik 2402 usually does the trick.
I'd imagine it'd be good for shoe repairs. Lomo sells it but I'm sure there will be other options.
Obviously the make or break with any cement is thorough cleaning of the surfaces beforehand - and roughening as well is possible so the cement has a good "key".
Miscommunication, I was looking on Naylors website to see which Sikaflex that they sold.Amazon then? Or Screwfix?
