Stormsure Boot, Shoe and Wader Repair Kit Clear 5g

Product Information

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. If you’re not sure how much you need to cut, cut a patch of rubber that’s a little bigger than the hole or split. Apply A Thin Layer of Adhesive Anyway, my current pair have sprung leaks. I have a leak on both boots, in the same place. It's on the side of the ball of the foot, you know, where the big toe joint is. I can't see any holes and with it being on the same place on both feet I suspect that it's wear and tear on the seam. Apart from that the boots are still in great shape despite being about 10 years old and having had a lot of wear. If your edges aren’t flush with the boot, add even more adhesive. If you don’t have enough adhesive, you will need to buy some glue. Be aware that repairing Wellington boots or any type of footwear requires the right glue. Using the wrong type of glue could result in a bad repair. As a result, you may have to start over. Apply some Chalk

Clean off mud and dirt from the damaged area with a light detergent and water. Then clean well with a chemical cleaner, such as acetone. Find some rubber in your puncture repair kit and cut it to the ideal size. The piece should be slightly bigger than the hole or split. When it is, it ensures a much better repair. A larger layer of rubber can also help to prevent water from entering the hole or splitting again. The follow up support has been just as good and will definitely be using Stormsure the company and Stormsure glue again with lots of other things. Autumn is here and Winter will not be far around the corner so it is time to get out my winter boots. Towards the end of last Winter or the beginning of Spring I noticed that my boots were suffering from a little wear and tear (both my wellington boots and more heavy duty walking boots). But as the weather started warming up a bit I didn’t really give much thought to getting them repaired as you wouldn’t be needing them for a while. So I just put them in the cupboard and thought I’ll get round to them when I need them again. But, of course life happens and I never did!

Cut Some Rubber

It’s not uncommon for Wellington boots, commonly referred to as wellies, to develop a tear in the upper section. Most people end up throwing them out when this happens, but there’s no reason to trash your best Wellington boots when they get older. If you've repaired a puncture on a bicycle tire, you'll find fixing a tear in your wellies pretty straightforward. Even amateurs should have no problem if they follow the instructions in the bicycle tire repair kit. Steps in Fixing Wellies

Prep your leaky rubber boot by cleaning it first. Remove all dirt and grime with a low-suds soap like Revivex Boot and Shoe Cleaner and following these cleaning instructions. Stormsure Flexible Repair Adhesive can repair everything from worn material to a large hole. Repairs are waterproof, flexible and resistant to abrasion (weather and water abrasion). Allow 24 hours for the adhesive to cure.If you have a zip in your boots, make sure you keep it clean and free from grit. When boots are clean, spraying the zip with the same silicon-based spray, waxing or using the amazing Ezip will keep it moving freely. It is worth noting that 95% of zip failures are down to grit! PRO TIP: Aquaseal SR is also great for fixing delaminated soles, building toe caps, flexible knee patches, and rebuilding worn soles. 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.

I wondered if there was anything I could get that I could just run along the seam and maybe repair the leak? Something like a kind of glue, or silicone?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. As the boots that we sell are all made from 100% natural rubber, they will naturally deteriorate with time. 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. If you have an old pair of rubber boots where the leather or rubber is perished, or you have stepped on a nail or punctured your boot with a tool, Stormsure glue is the perfect solution. You can cover, renovate and seal the perished area, plug the hole or patch the tear with this excellent product.
