I have a pair of Vision waders - less than 1 year old (goretex zipped with boots attached) and the damn felt is almost completely off one of the soles allready this always happens to every bloody pair of waders I get - I really would be very gratefull if some one could suggest how I reattach the felt - I usually use aquasure or something similar but it never lasts long and is hard to get pressure on the whole sole whilst drying.

HELP

Evostic is the way to go - you can buy it from B&Q - just follow the instructions !

same thing happened to me,luckily ive a mate that works as a coachbuilder,
Sikaflex did the trick,seems they use the stuff to fit aircraft windows,seals it and sticks it.....just like it says on the tin!!

Evostik fan- works for me. Stuff the boot, follow the instructions, bind with twine and leave overnight (minimum)

I take it you mean evostick " contact adhesive ".

If so don't get the solvent free stuff. It's pants.

Thank you very much for all the suggestions guys - i'll get sticking.

sorry to be a pain but what "number" Sikaflex  (it seems to be available in various numbers eg Sikaflex 221, or 520 etc)
Thanks
