Shoe repair adhesive GEAR AID Aquaseal + SR

Shoe repair adhesive GEAR AID Aquaseal + SR clear thermoset urethane with waterproof flexible seal

Shoe repair adhesive GEAR AID Aquaseal + SR is a urethane-based glue for repairing and reinforcing footwear in the field or at home. It dries as a clear, flexible rubber and forms a weather-resistant, watertight seal that is designed not to peel or crack over time. The 28 g tube format is suitable for boot repair, toe-cap reinforcement, and rebuilding worn areas on hiking footwear, work boots, and outdoor shoes. This type of footwear repair glue is used as a waterproof sealant for high-wear zones on leather, suede, rubber, neoprene, canvas, and nylon.

Thermoset urethane cures into an abrasion-resistant rubber-like layer that stays flexible after hardening. This matters for shoe repair because the bond must bend with the sole and upper without becoming brittle. Urethane adhesive is also less sensitive to temperature swings in typical outdoor use compared with many standard craft glues.

Features

• ➤ Waterproof seal: cures into a watertight layer for cracked and high-wear footwear zones.
• ➤ Clear finish: dries transparent to keep repairs visually neutral on most materials.
• ➤ Thermoset urethane: rubber-like cured structure designed for long-term flexibility and durability.
• ➤ Material compatibility: bonds to leather, suede, rubber, neoprene, canvas, and nylon footwear parts.
• ➤ Abrasion resistant: intended to withstand scrapes in toe and sole areas during regular use.
• ➤ 28 g tube: compact size for carrying in a repair kit for travel and outdoor trips.

Used for repairing peeling soles, sealing cracks, and reinforcing toe caps on hiking boots, trail runners, and work footwear in wet and abrasive conditions. Best applied on a clean, dry surface and left to cure undisturbed, especially in cool or humid weather. Suitable for travel kits where a compact boot repair adhesive can extend footwear life during multi-day use. Typical scenario: wet spring trails in Norway where footwear takes repeated flex and surface abrasion.

Technical Specifications

Materials and Design

• ➤ Surface prep: remove dirt and oils; roughen smooth rubber where possible to improve mechanical grip.
• ➤ Application method: apply a thin, even layer to cracks or worn areas and keep the footwear positioned to hold shape while curing.
• ➤ Flexible reinforcement: cured urethane layer is designed to bend with footwear to reduce stress at the repair line.
• ➤ Faster curing option: GEAR AID Cure Accelerator (30 ml) can shorten tack time and reduce total cure time when mixed with compatible urethane adhesives.
• ➤ Maintenance: after curing, clean repaired areas with mild soap and water; avoid heat drying directly on the repair.
