7. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the proper surface preparation before applying the glue?

A: For an optimal bond, surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of dust, oil, or old adhesive. Lightly abrading smooth surfaces (like rubber soles) with sandpaper is highly recommended to increase surface area and mechanical adhesion.

Q2: How should the glue be applied for the strongest bond?

A: Apply a thin, even coat to both surfaces to be bonded. Allow it to air dry until it is touch-dry (not sticky to a light touch, typically 5-8 minutes). Then, press the surfaces together firmly and apply pressure (clamping or hammering) for 10-15 seconds. Full strength develops over 24-48 hours.

Q3: Is this adhesive suitable for all types of shoe materials?

A: It is highly effective on most common materials: leather, natural & synthetic rubber, EVA, and many plastics. We recommend testing on unusual or highly waterproofed synthetics. Contact our technical support for specific material queries.

Q4: What are the storage and safety precautions?

A: Store in a cool, dry place away from heat sources and open flames. Ensure adequate ventilation during use. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as nitrile gloves and safety glasses. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for full details.

Q5: Do you offer custom packaging or formulations?

A: Yes. For large B2B orders, we can discuss custom packaging solutions (e.g., larger containers, branded labels) and potential formulation adjustments to meet specific production line requirements. Contact our sales team to discuss your needs.
