Stormsure Flexible Repair Adhesive: (3 x 5g) Clear Glue - Highly Durable, Waterproof Glue for All Repairs

The sole of my walking boot had split significantly along the inner edge. The boot itself was still in good condition and the sole still had plenty of tread on it. Me and these boots have walked many, many miles over all terrains over the years and I was loathe to begin the process of breaking in a new pair without at least attempting to salvage my old faithful pair. Having read the reviews for Stormsure Flexible Repair Adhesive and watched a couple of 'how to' videos on You Tube I decided it was worth a try. Was it ever! I cleaned the surfaces to be glued of dirt and debris and applied a good amount of the adhesive, then taped around the boot and join to keep the surfaces together. Because of the liberal amount of adhesive I'd used I allowed 48 hours curing time before removing the tape and applying a little more glue in the areas where the product had settled into the split, as a final sealant along the join. 48 hours later it was time for the test. Would it really hold up over the hilly and rocky terrain I was planning to test it on? Indeed yes! After some 70 or so miles the seam is still holding wonderfully and my feet remain dry after several dunks into streams and mud. So for the cost of a coffee and cake I can now hopefully look forward to many more miles of roaming in my comfy old boots. And by buying the 3 pack of small tubes I still have one unopened tube for any future minor repairs. Absolute bargin!!

The downsides first - it's tricky to store, it takes forever to cure and there is a risk it will run during that process. This is easy to apply, but I found it ran a little over the time it took to cure and that meant reapplications. An open tube needs to be stored in the freezer, so a little lag in that process. Now the positives. My cat managed to put two holes into the rim of the liner of my inflatable spa - as it has a textured finish, standard patches just didn't stick - superglue, vinyl etc - all failed to stick and continued to leak. This glue however seems to have fixed it - as it's both a glue and a filler, it goes into the texture, sits over it and then strongly bonds to the material, with a flexible finish. It did take 12 hours to fully cure and you have to keep it relatively stable and the spa deflated - but once it set, it's fixed the issue completely - and required only a very small amount. So superb for inflatable repairs, textured repairs and areas that need flexibility in the fix.

This is the right glue for shoe repair I believe. Very strong adhesion, quite thick, tacky and high viscosity and fairly toxic, came with gloves, my trainers were coming apart from the vulcanised rubber sole to upper, I got 60% adhesion the rest dried hard but clear. Way better than all the other epoxy resins. My tip is to fill the gap with a cocktail stick then hold with masking tape and fill boot with scrunched up paper and leave for 48 hours or use clamps or something. Time will tell how this holds and if I need to reapply the glue as I could have used the tape better and inserted shoe filler to allow the glue to adhere properly. You also need to clean and lightly sand just like for a bicycle tire or something. Generally happy as I think I could have used more skill in getting a better hold. Hope my review helps and gives other tips to use it as best you can. Time will be a teller.

I use mainly to repair worn areas on soles of walking shoes and find it more durable than Shoe Goo - and better value. I find buying 3 small tubes rather than 1 large tube helps the sealant last longer in the tube. As per instructions, I keep part-used tubes in the freezer.

Arrived in very good time - it's an excellent adhesive for shoe soles, flexible and waterproof - dont get it on your hands, you won't gat it off.

Very good, used to repair join between breathable leg material and rubber boot on Kinetic waist waders (Kinetic Classic Gaiter Bootfoot). Most breathable waders last a couple of seasons at best, it does not seem to matter if you pay £500 or £1100. I have used Stormsure to repair a pair of Orvis breathable waders in the past, covering all internal seams (you have to turn the waders inside out) which reduced a flood to a seep, I could not get them totally watertight, but it gave me another seasons use. Tip, to locate an obvious hole use a torch inside the waders within a dark room. The best waders I own (though not so good for a hot summers day) are Snowbee Granite PVC boot foot, a friend has had his for over 20 years, my pair are now into their 6th season. They need a turn out to air now and again otherwise they will smell like a lump of blue cheese that has started to turn green!

I had a 1.5 inch split at the heel of my right wellington boot and they were not that old so I thought I'd try a repair using Stormsure. The instructions weren't that clear for boot repair, but I cleaned the area and fine sanded the surface to give something to bond to. I applied the glue with more than 5mm surround - I basically put it in the split and then on the top surface and left it 12 hours to cure. It didn't dry clear, it had a frosted appearance. Next day I walked the dog up the field and back down the lane. Hosed my boots off when I got home and the Stormsure had begun to split in exactly the same place as the original split. So that was a failed repair. However there were 3 small tubes in the packet so I thought I'd try again. I cleaned off the cracked glue starting from the split and re-sanded the surface lightly. It seemed to me that for whatever reason when walking in these wellingtons that the split point must be a stress point and the glue alone wasn't strong enough to stop it splitting again. So I used 2 inner-tube puncture repair patches and stuck them across the split with Stormsure, then applied the rest of this small tube over the top of the repair as before. I left it 24 hours to cure and again it dried frosty. Next day repeated my dog walk same route and hosed my wellies when I got home. This time the repair had held, no leaks, no cracks. So hopefully it should last for a while now. I think it just needed the extra mechanical support of the puncture repair patches to reduce stress at the split point and give it more surface area to bond to. The main point is that, for now, it is working for the purpose I bought it, even if it needed a little help. It did come with some webbing in the packet but the instructions seemed to indicate that was for repairing tents. However, if I hadn't used the puncture repair patches this webbing might have done the extra mechanical support job, but the instructions weren't clear on this. I'm not bothered by the frosty appearance though clear would have been better. It was a good sized deep split right through where it had split and I'll be pleased if the repair holds long enough to get some decent wear from my wellington boots, then it will have done its job.

Used to repair a three inch pocket tear on a Barbour jacket, this has done the job perfectly. Easy to apply effectively after watching a couple of Stormsure instructional videos on YouTube, it cures fairly quickly and provides a flexible, waterproof seal as advertised. It's far from being an invisible mend of course, but it's not "point and laugh" noticeable either. Great stuff, highly recommended.

Prima product

bought this to fix my inflatable Intex kayak which, despite its claimed "US Military grade" (insert Vietnam joke here) pvc, mysteriously punctured on the inside with no explanation. Was somewhat sceptical having also tried to fix my last Intex kayak (which also mysteriously punctured) with epoxy resin, without success. Anyway - this stuff got the job done, and I am happy to report that i've successfully not drowned on two subsequent kayak trips. You don't get a huge amount in the 3 tube packet, but you don't need a lot, at least for my purposes. Recommended and thanks for prolonging the life of my kayak!

Ik heb deze lijm gekocht om mijn leren kussens te plakken, echter plakt het op mijn handen en alle andere materialen die ik aanraak, maar helaas niet op mijn leren kussens. Dus van mij krijgt dit product maar 1 ster.

I use this product to build up worn spots in the soles of walking shoes. I tend to walk off the outsides of heels. This product fills in those wear spots and is harder than the original rubber/foam surface, thereby making the shoes more durable. IMPORTANT to know -- this is a "self-leveling" product. It flows like water, only very slowly. To fix heels, wrap the outside with masking tape, as a dam to keep from running down the side of the shoe, then prop the shoe up so the filled area is perfectly level with where you want the material to level out. After a few hours, the material sets up to where you can move the shoes. I usually put them over a heat vent to cure - 1 day is best. They'll adhere to almost any surface and could have a LOT of uses, but building up worn soles on shoes is one place where the product really shines.

Neben Aquasure habe ich auch diesen flexiblen und farblosen Klebstoff verwendet und bin mit dem Ergebnis genauso zufrieden. Ich repariere damit die Sohlen meiner Wildling-Barfußschuhe (wenn der Klebstoff von Sohle und Patch verhungert ist oder vergrößere die Fläche nach unten). Freitag-Taschen bestehen aus Planenstoff, der an den Ecken mit der Nutzung leidet. Um weiteren Materialverlust zu verhindern, trage ich eine dünne Schicht Klebstoff auf, um die betroffenen Bereiche zu versiegeln. Ich arbeite mit einem Holzzahnstocher. Größere Flächen klebe ich mit Malerkreppband vorher ab. Bei kleinen, punktuellen Arbeiten ist das nicht nötig. Da der Klebstoff während der Trocknungszeit gerade am Anfang trotz seiner Zähflüssigkeit noch fließt, ist waagerechte Lagerung der geklebten Fläche wichtig. Lieber in zwei Etappen arbeiten, als dass das Ergebnis nicht so ist, wie es nach getaner Arbeit aussah. Ich lasse 2 Tage trocknen. Solange der Klebstoff noch trocknet, riecht er. Aus eigener Erfahrung sollte man bei Pollenflug auf eine Trocknung auf dem Balkon verzichten, da diese auch auf der Klebstoff-Fläche zum Liegen kommen und dann mit festkleben. Besser im Keller trocknen lassen. Angebrochene Tuben lagere ich in einer verschließbaren Tüte im Tiefkühlschrank. Ich rechne mit einer Auftauzeit von einem Tag.
