Most contacts will do the job but if you want it done right the best adhesive is a contact but it has an extra setting agent and thats heat,Let me explain, your standard contact goes like this you put it on both surfaces let it completely dry and then give it second coat to get it to have full penetration, when that coat has tacked off but not completely dry you press them together,
The Heat contact is a longer molecule chained glue and needs a slightly different application, first coat as normal contact, second coat will take longer to dry and when it has almost dried, you hit it with a heat gun, mild settings here, this links the chains of both first and second coats, and whilst it is hot you then press together, but now the critical, it needs to be pressed together when hot and held until dry, only then can it be released, you can stuff the boots with heaps of newspaper to make them solid sort of and then you can get creative with a vice and squash it,This thermo glue is a little more expensive than normal contact, and I have found that the cheapest way to get small amounts of it is through your local bike shop or Suttos and ask for the Alpinestars Boot repair contact cement, it comes in a size tube that will do two soles easily, and Alpinestars is the only proper thermo setter, there is another one that you can get and the name alludes me now, but dont get nothing bit the Genuine Alpinestars stuff and all will be good
So there you have it :huh: :huh: :huh:
Oh one last word, the best join will only be achieved if both surfaces are totally clean, scuffing or scowering with abrasive wheels is the go for prepping before glueing
