Stormsure Flexible Repair Adhesive 15g Tube – Heavy Duty Waterproof Adhesive, All-Purpose, Ultra-Durable, High Strength & Temperature Resistant

Impressed with how effective this is.Bought it to seal small holes on a hot tub. Has worked for each one. First time. First two have been in place for over a year now. They are even in the top of the tub where people sit.Repairs didn’t even need a patch and just bridge the hole and contain the air pressure.

The media could not be loaded. Had a large split in side of both boots where the foot flexes. I could push my finger through from the inside! Purchased this after reading reviews.Was easy to apply. Dried quickly. First time it re-split on first wear.Second time I "opened" the split and made sure there was a good glug of glue going into the split. Allowed it to settle then applied more glue over the top and around the area. Appears to be holding out well. I marked the boot with pen before filling which is what you can see on the video, it's not a split!Obviously can't comment on longevity, but if it gets me through this current wet weather it's job done!Glue was put into the freezer after first application, following packet instructions and was good to go.

Since this is a long review, it has been structured into five sections to enable the reader to access what may be most important to them. Paragraph one highlights what I used the glue for. Two covers safety and a mistake I made when I urgently needed to use super glue remover. Three & four highlights how long the hardening/curing process takes and the last paragraph five, answers the question does it work?1). The Type of Repair Made: I Purchased a 15 gram tube of 'Stormsure Flexible Repair Adhesive CLEAR' to repair the soles of a pair of Grub Wellys that had sprung leaks. Before the leaks occurred I thought the soles were solid but discovered they are air cushioned with supporting grid ridges underneath to seal the air in, which explained the unusual comfort of these wellys.2). Safety & A Big Do: First some advise on using the product wisely, since the instructions are insufficient & lacking in this respect (this is why I have deducted a star from the rating). Do nevertheless read the 'Danger' safety warning in small print on the reverse of the instructions, written in fourteen languages. They are easy to miss or neglect.And avoid Del Boy and Rodney Plonker Moments from 'Only Fools and Horses': When I managed to get the glue on my fingers by accident - something I thought wouldn't happen with the type of repair I was making - I discovered it is impossible to remove with water, soap and alcohol; no matter how hard you scrub and it is incredibly tacky/strong. In this sense, think of it as super glue. Like super glue it contains isocyanates and I literally had to use 'super glue remover' to sucessfully remove it from my skin; nothing else worked. It would be rather embarassing if you had to call the emergency services out because your hands got stuck to the garage door or worse, the toilet seat. There's more than one reason the product is called Stormsure! This is what they don't tell you in the instructions. The box contained a disposable pair of ultra thin gloves wrapped in a flat packet smaller than a match box and no plastic glue spreader. Better quality gloves than supplied are preferable and use ones you don't mind disposing afterwards. The advert on the box - most likely inspired by the marketing department - stated, "FREE GLOVES inc." Wow was my jaw dropping response; I was almost left speechless. They are the kind of thing I used to see in Christmas Crackers when I was a child.3). The Repair Process: If you look at the repaired soles in the photographs, I had to use a knife to prize open the split edges of the affected treads that were leaking, while squeezing glue into the air gap underneath until it was full; making sure the tread was completely surrounded by more glue (don't use your partner's kitchen knife if you want to live). For this repair I used approximately half the 15 gram tube. Once the glue has been opened it is necessary to make sure no air is left in the tube by squeezing the glue to the top, while immediately screwing the lid on firmly. This is because air and moisure cures and eventually hardens the glue over time. It is necessary to place the remaining glue in a freezer, which keeps it in a liquid state and stops it from solidifying. I made sure I placed the opened tube in a sealed plastic bag to keep it away from frozen foods.4). How Long Does it Take to Dry/Harden? That's like asking how long is a piece of string? The short answer; it dependents what you are using it for and the room or garage temperature at the time of the repair. The colder the temperature the longer it takes to cure and harden. I made the repair to my boots in the summer when I didn't need them and inserted the legs of the boots behind a cold radiator as a prop; allowing the soles to remain in an upright position. The glue is viscous but it does run nevertheless. If two surfaces are stuck together the chances are only a thin layer of glue will need to be applied, since the instructions state 'Assemble immediately. Press strongly and immobilize for at least 10 - 12 hours.' However, because I used a large quantity the curing and hardening process took much longer. Even after 4 days the glue had not fully hardened. Not needing the boots I left them on a cold radiator for around three to four weeks. After this time I noticed the flexible glue had become very firm while maintaining flexibility.5) The Million Dollar Question: Does it work? At the time of this review drought conditions were occurring in England after a exceptionally dry spring and water authorities were having to introduce restrictions in early June. When it rains in the South I will have the chance to test the repair; so there will be an update coming later. All I can say at the moment - by looking at and feeling the set glue - is I don't think you will find anything better for the repair of Welly soles. I am hoping it will work because Grub boots are expensive to replace. However if the repair only works for a short period under normal and reasonable conditions, i.e. not climbing mountains in them, I will lower my rating significantly. In the meantime I remain optimistic. Now have a glass of wine after reading this long review; you deserve it.

I have an expensive pair of riding boots where the thick rubber sole had split right across the sole - the sole had basically broken in two right through to the insole. As these boots get a lot of heavy duty use I wasn't holding out much hope for a repair but thought I'd give it a try. I must have tried 4 or 5 different glues (shoe repair glue, heavy duty adhesive, rubber glue) but nothing worked and I was just about to give up and throw away the boots but gave it one last try with this stuff - AMAZING!!!!! it really works and a couple of weeks of heavy duty use later the repair is still holding. Now for the downside....Ask previous reviewers have mentioned it is very difficult to work with and you have to be extremely careful. The main problem is that the glue is so viscous - it is incredibly runny, not like a gel or any other normal glue so preparation is key. If you need to fill a gap you need to make sure that the liquid can't run out anywhere - line the sides with duct tape, fill the bottom of the split / break / crack with something - it's like water and if it can find a way out it will. Also be aware that it can dry a little opaque / milky white so isn't ideal if you want a nice clean finish. Taking all that into account though if used properly it works and it's the only thing I found that did so five stars.

Worked for a bit but still went down
