Stormsure Boot, Shoe and Wader Repair Kit Clear 5g

Product Information

Adhesive tape can also be used to repair wellies, although it may only work as a temporary measure. Tape can last a while, but it’s most likely only a temporary solution. 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.

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? Also try and make sure the sole is clean and dry before application. Time spent with preparation is key here for the best results. 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. 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.

Your Repaired Wellington Boots

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! 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

I received delivery of the repair kit the very next day. Incredible efficient service! So now I am ready to try my repair. I followed Stuart’s advice and one thing he mentioned was about spending time with the preparation. I put on 1 layer which set into the boot (level dropped while setting) and then after 12 hours added another layer, then a third. I did think that the Stormsure adhesive could work for other splits in boots or wellies but genuinely didn't believe it could work on the sole (which moves a lot when walking). Yet it worked really well! I have been wading in streams and walking up some boggy terrain in them and my feet are dry (now). Really impressive. Thank you Stuart especially for the advice and amazing product! Martin Lewis: Do you have a Power of Attorney? It’s crucial protection – not just for the elderly – and more important than a will 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. Use Mild Soap Solution: Prepare a mixture of warm water and mild soap. Then, gently scrub the wellies with a soft brush or sponge, paying attention to areas with stubborn stains. PRO TIP: Aquaseal SR is also great for fixing delaminated soles, building toe caps, flexible knee patches, and rebuilding worn soles.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. Dry Naturally: Avoid using direct heat sources like radiators or heaters to dry your Hunter wellies. Instead, let them air dry at room temperature. Don’t forget to stuff them with newspaper or boot shapers to maintain their shape during drying. Cleaning your Hunter wellies is a crucial step in maintaining their pristine appearance and keeping them free from dirt and grime. To clean your wellies effectively, follow these simple steps: Apply Stormsure directly to the area, allowing an extra 5mm around the damaged area. Keep flat and allow to cure. Stormsure is touch dry in 2-4 hours. Allow 10-12 hours for full cure.

Ideally, you will find an alternative method such as using a bonding adhesive. Ensure that it’s suitable for use with footwear. If it isn’t, it could actually do even more damage to your boots. Do your research and find out what works. Wipe Away Surface Dirt: Before deep cleaning, use a damp cloth or boot wipes to wipe off any surface dirt or mud. This prevents abrasive particles from scratching the surface during the cleaning process.

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. Keep Stormsure in a cool dry place away from incompatible materials, direct sunlight and sources of ignition. 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.
