PROJECT TIMELINE

Shoe repair: clamp, handle and wear timeline

Plan the job around separate working, recoat, exposure and service milestones. The exact clock comes from the product you actually use.

Project sequence

  1. Clean and prepare both bonding surfaces.
  2. Apply adhesive using the specified open or set time.
  3. Hold, press or clamp the repair as directed.
  4. Avoid flexing during initial handling time.
  5. Wait for wear-ready or full-cure guidance before use.
Do not add the times blindly: Some milestones run from initial application while others begin after a later coat or step.
