1. Pull insole out enough so you can get at it

1. Use an off cut of leather ½ sole or rubber, cut it so that you have 20-25m of the skived back
edge on the end of a skinny bit.
2. Dip the skived bit into the 1222 and reach down inside the boot to spread the glue on the front
half of insole board
3. Roll the front ½ of the insole back onto it self
4. Line up the back ½ of the insole inside the boot
5. Unroll the front ½ of insole into the boot and press down
6. Lift back ½ of insole and glue under it and press down
Generally use Ortec – 1 coat onto each surface, wait 5-10min then push together, if you wait too long
and the glue is not tacky enough, put another light coat onto 1 surface, or both if the glue looks like it
has all soaked in.
Thickness of glue
Glue needs to run of the brush, if it is too thick it will go on too thick and then won’t set properly, then
when you come to stitch, things will move and look yuk.
