How to Repair an Upper Delamination
ID: 171009
Description: Sole delamination, where the sole separates...
Steps:
- Identify the upper part that needs to be repaired
- For better pressing later, remove the insole.
- Use a rough piece of sandpaper to rub-off the remaining glue residue and to roughen the surface for enhanced glue adhesion.
- Be careful not to damage the material above the glued sole edge.
- Follow the instructions of the 2-component glue.
- Push-out both components of the glue into a small tray and mix the mass until it is equally merged.
- Using a small spatula, coat the prepared upper surface with the glue.
- Note: We recommend to get support by another person to pull apart the sole from the upper.
- Spread the glue equally onto the roughened area and the inside of the sole edge.
- Let the glue dry while putting one hand into the shoe and grasping the sole with the other one.
- Note: Follow the instructions of the glue used to know the exact drying time. In this example we held the parts together for 3 minutes and then let it dry for 24 hours.
- 🛠️🏆👏 Congratulations! The repair is complete, and you're ready to go!
