Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What surfaces can this glue to repair shoes bond?
It excels on rubber, EVA/PU foam, genuine and synthetic leather, canvas, nylon, PVC, and many thermoplastics. Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of oil or old adhesive for optimal results.
What is the correct application method?
Apply a thin, even coat to both surfaces to be bonded. Allow to air dry until touch-dry (5-10 minutes). Then, press the surfaces together firmly. Apply pressure (clamp or roller) for 30-60 seconds for an immediate strong bond. Full strength develops over 24-48 hours.
Is it waterproof after curing?
Yes. Once fully cured, the bond is highly resistant to water, moisture, sweat, and most chemicals, making it ideal for all types of footwear.
What safety precautions are necessary?
Use in a well-ventilated area. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) like nitrile gloves. Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for complete handling and storage information.
Do you offer private label or custom formulations?
Absolutely. We work extensively with B2B clients on private labeling and can discuss custom formulations to meet specific viscosity, set time, or color requirements for your production line.
What are the shipping and minimum order quantities (MOQ)?
We offer flexible MOQs to suit businesses of all sizes, from sample orders to full container loads. Contact our sales team for specific pricing, MOQ, and shipping details tailored to your location and needs.
