Strong adhesive for waterproof bag/shoes?

[gregcope]

Hi

I have a nice, old waterproof bag where part of the outside, that attaches the straps has come away.

Can someone recommend a strong semi-flexible adhesive for waterproof nylon or shoes to reglue it? I also need to fix some otherwise nearly new shoes where the sole has parted company from the rest of the shoe.

I have used this to glue the seams on my sprayhood and it has lasted for at least 5 years, rain, wind and sun.
Also do a search on eBay for extra strong shoe glue you may find something more to your liking.

When the sealing cuffs separated on my Rooster jacket, they sent me some "Stormsure" - Amazon.co.uk

+1 for Stormsure. Good stuff but expensive.

Is that bag made of hypalon, like the Avon inflatables?

If so, polymarine sell a 2 part flexible waterproof adhesive (or they used to) - not sure on price but the tin was quite large (300ml or so at a guess) and more than I needed for boat.

Came in handy when I used it on neck and wrist seals of a dry suit once. I then used it on friends’ suits because it would have been a shame if it went ‘off’ in the tin.
Wrist and neck seals were quite easy to obtain from somewhere (I know you didn’t ask about that - waffling away I am)

Polymarine also sell a tube of one part glue (does that mean it is not as good? I don’t know)

More usefully (if you have read this far) I repaired a pair of walking boots where the rubber sole had come away from the leather upper in a major manner and I fixed it with cheap as chips PU40 or was it PU20?

Toolstation or screwfix

I would guess a thin smear of this would fix the strap (and it comes in black)

Polymarine only seem to sell the 2 part at £19odd, or a smaller tube than I remember for £6 odd

Gone up in price:

Puraflex 40 PU Sealant & Adhesive

I am losing the plot - I cannot find PU20 only PU40 - it is worrying when I forget stuff like this.

Hope you find a good fix- if possible perhaps report back and we may learn something (if I don’t forget it the next week)

After a google... pu20, but not as I remember- I could have sworn I bought pu 40 and pu20 from toolstation to compare (when it was about £3 a tube

I was interested to re-learn about low modulus etc.

Pasted from web:

Adhesive with a high modulus means that the adhesive will dry very stiff and rigid. Low modulus adhesive means that it will dry more flexible. High modulus adhesive will have a high level of resistance to being stretched vs low modulus adhesive which will have low resistance.

I have used the Aquaseal FD (aka Aquasure FD) repair adhesive to repair a small tear in an air mattress. Worked great in this application, leaving clear, flexible patch on the surface.

They also seem to have a shoe repair adhesive (SR), but of that I have no experience.

Another vote for aquaseal here.
