How to Use
- Completely remove all moisture, oil, dirt, or any other residue from the surface before you start your repair.
- Unscrew the cap to expose the fine tip nozzle (Do NOT unscrew the nozzle from the bottle).
- Apply a small thin bead of Boot-Fix or Shoe-Fix shoe glue along the “wear line” or edge of sole to one surface to be bonded.
- Immediately assemble sole to desired position and hold securely for 10-45 seconds.
- Be sure to tighten the cap back on the nozzle until it clicks into place to ensure the glue will not dry out when not in use.
Helpful Tips
- Use a tri-folded paper towel to wipe off any excess glue.
- For completely detached soles, preset sole to desired position and hold. Repeat above steps to the toe or heel first, then repeat for opposite end until entire sole is attached.
- If there’s a white film on the surface of the material, or if the footwear has been washed or exposed to soapy substances, you will need to use more Boot-Fix or Shoe-Fix shoe glue and apply more pressure for a longer period of time to allow for the adhesive to soak through the film and bond to the intended materials.
- For porous materials, use Boot-Fix or Shoe-Fix shoe glue as described in the directions. If the bond does not hold after 1 minute, simply repeat the steps again with more glue now that the porous material has been filled with some glue. This repair might also require more pressure for a longer period of time for the adhesive to work as intended.
- Latex or other types of gloves are not required to use Boot-Fix or Shoe-Fix shoe glue and may get glued to your footwear accidently. We recommend doing the repairs carefully with your bare hands. If you do accidently get Boot-Fix or Shoe-Fix shoe glue on your skin, apply cooking oil to bonded areas and gently rub to peel bond apart.
- Clean the nozzle with the paper towel before replacing the cap to prevent the cap from being glued to the nozzle.
- Store Boot-Fix and Shoe-Fix shoe glue in a cool dry place or refrigerator and ensure the cap clicks shut when closing for longest life.
