- FAST
- FLEXIBLE
Quickly glues materials most commonly used in shoe production, such as natural or eco-leather, fabrics and some plastics. Used to repair various parts of shoes: tips, edges, heels, soles and uppers.
HOW TO USE THE GLUE:
- The parts to be connected should be clean, dry, free of dust and grease. It is recommended to clean them thoroughly with an alcohol-based preparation.
- To open the product for the first time, screw the dispenser cap onto the end of the glue tube until the protective membrane is pierced.
- After this, simply remove the cap from the dispenser and apply the glue to only one of the parts to be glued , so as to cover their entire surface. Be especially careful not to apply an excessive amount, as this extends the drying time of the glue. Do not leave it exposed to the air.
- Immediately after applying the glue, bring the two parts together and press them firmly for 60 seconds.
ADHESIVE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDATIONS:
- Due to the quick drying time of the glue, in the case of large surfaces (e.g. the entire sole), it is recommended to glue them in sections.
- The final adhesive bond strength is released 3-6 hours after the elements are joined with the adhesive.
- To achieve the intended effect, it is recommended to hold the glued parts pressed together for an additional 5 minutes, without moving the shoes.
- Fabrics with a significant cotton content may be damaged by adhesive substances.
- The glue does not work on silicone surfaces or surfaces made of polyethylene, polypropylene or Teflon.
- The glue dispenser should be kept clean to prevent it from getting clogged. If the dispenser becomes clogged, unclog it with a sharp pin or needle, taking care not to damage the glue tube. Never press the tube with a clogged dispenser with force, as this may damage it.
- Glued footwear should only be cleaned or washed in cold water.
- The glued surfaces should adhere perfectly to each other because the agent does not fill empty spaces.
- After using the glue, clean the dispenser, close it tightly and store the glue in a cool, dry place to ensure it is ready for future shoe repairs.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT GLUE:
- How long should you wait before joining the glued surfaces after applying ?
Do not wait, immediately after applying the adhesive, connect the glued surfaces.
- Can shoes repaired with glue be worn immediately?
Surfaces glued with bond immediately, but we recommend waiting at least 3 hours after using the glue to achieve its final strength.
- Can I glue parts that do not fit together well (there are gaps) using TADAM glue?
is ideal for bonding objects that fit together exactly. It has no filling capacity, so it is not suitable when there is a need to fill empty spaces.
- Can I use to glue shoe parts made of polyethylene or polypropylene?
does not effectively bond plastic materials made of polyethylene, polypropylene, teflon and silicone.
- Is glue waterproof?
Yes, under normal use conditions. It is not recommended for use on items that are in constant contact with water. We also do not recommend use on wet or damp surfaces.
- How much glue should I apply?
You should apply a small amount, the product is highly efficient. Avoid applying too much glue, as this significantly increases the drying time.
- How do I clean excess TADAM® glue from my shoes?
If, during gluing of both parts with glue, excess product comes out sideways, it can be easily and precisely removed with a small stick such as a toothpick or match. This will also make the connection more precise and better finished. Please remember that excessive amount of product may cause a slight whitish discoloration on the surface.
- How to remove glue from skin?
Dried product residue will fall off on its own within a few hours. To speed up this process, you can wash the skin with a large amount of lukewarm water, rubbing lightly (e.g. with a pumice stone) under running water. Then apply a protective cream to soften the skin.
- What to do if the product comes into contact with eyes?
Do not close your eyelids, rinse with plenty of lukewarm water. Do not remove the remaining solidified product, it will fall off by itself. Consult an ophthalmologist immediately.
- How to store TADAM®?
It is extremely important to properly clean the dispenser after use. For this purpose, we recommend using a cloth or dry, absorbent paper. It is recommended to store the product in a dry and cool place to extend its shelf life.
- Is flammable?
No, the product is not flammable.
- Can I use on cotton material?
Some fabrics with a high cotton content may be damaged.
- Is glue applied to one or both surfaces?
should be applied to only one of the surfaces to be glued. Applying glue to both would mean that there would be too much of it, which is not conducive to good gluing or precise finishing of the joint.
