Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What makes ProBond LeatherMaster the best glue for leather shoe repair?
Its specialized formulation balances high initial strength with long-term flexibility and environmental resistance—key factors that generic adhesives often lack. It is specifically engineered for the dynamic stresses footwear endures.
What is the proper application method?
Apply a thin, even coat to both clean, dry, and roughened surfaces. Allow to become touch-dry (5-8 minutes). Precisely align the parts and apply firm, even pressure. A roller or hammer is recommended for sole attachments. Allow 24 hours for full strength before wear.
Is it suitable for all types of leather?
Yes, it works excellently on full-grain, corrected-grain, suede, and nubuck. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first, especially with delicate or treated leathers.
Can it be used for other materials?
Absolutely. It effectively bonds leather to rubber (soles), many plastics, EVA foam, and textiles. We recommend testing compatibility for non-standard materials.
What are the storage and safety precautions?
Store in a cool, dry place away from heat and open flames. Use in a well-ventilated area. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for full handling and disposal information.
Do you offer bulk pricing for trade customers?
Yes. We provide competitive tiered pricing for bulk purchases (1L, 5L, and larger containers). Contact our B2B sales team for a customized quote and to discuss your volume needs.
