Stormsure Boot, Shoe and Wader Repair Kit Clear 5g

Product Information

Pay attention when considering what adhesive to use on your wellies because some, such as super glue, may not work with particular types of rubber. Using the bicycle tire repair kit method is effective when done properly and should result in watertight wellies you can use to walk through puddles; however, it may not be enough to wade through strong streams of water. To slow this process, it is worth washing the boots down with water (and a light detergent if necessary) when they get muddy or at least every 2-3 months. Then, when dry, spray them with a quality silicon-based spray (we sell Aigle Swipol and Le Chameau sprays). This will ‘feed’ the rubber and stop it ‘crazing’ and perishing, keeping it supple and completely waterproof. PRO TIP: Aquaseal SR is also great for fixing delaminated soles, building toe caps, flexible knee patches, and rebuilding worn soles.

NatWest, RBS and Ulster Bank to close at least 172 branches in 2023/24 – here's the full list, plus alternatives Just as you might do with a bicycle tire patch, you may find that you may need to patch the area of your boot regularly if you want to extend the life of your wellies. You should also familiarise yourself with how to store Wellington boots to ensure they last even longer.

It should be strong enough not putting etc grooves in but as it is in the area that bends a lot any extra strength will help. To re-attach soles to uppers squeeze Stormsure into the affected area and place the boot on a flat surface and place a weight inside the boot to hold the repair together. Remove the weight after 12 hours. Keep Stormsure in a cool dry place away from incompatible materials, direct sunlight and sources of ignition. NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and Ulster Bank, which are all part of the NatWest Group, will now shut at least 172 of their bank branches in 2023 and 2024. When fixing wellies using the tape method, the gaffer tape is effective in repelling water. The boots will withstand light tasks such as working in the garden and walking in puddles, but the tape is bound to peel off after regular soaking.

If you have invested in a quality pair of wellies, it is worth looking after them so that they continue to perform as you would expect.
