Frequently Asked Questions

1. How long does it take Stormsure to dry?

Stormsure takes 36-48 hours to fully dry (depending on repair conditions and thickness of the repair). To speed up the curing process, you can use Stormcure Accelerator, which reduces cure time by approximately 90%. 

 

2. How to apply Stormsure?

1. Clean and dry the repair area.

2. Apply Stormsure adhesive evenly over the damaged area, ensuring you spread glue 5mm over the edge of the repair to ensure good adhesion. 

3. Allow the adhesive to cure on a flat surface for 36-48 hours (when not using a cure accelerator). 

Use Stormsure at normal room temperature, and not below 5ºC. If the glue is too cold, it will become waxy. Just warm it up a little until it flows.

 

3. How do I make Stormsure cure faster?

Use Stormcure Accelerator to reduce the cure time to around 1 hour. Just mix some accelerator with the adhesive in a ratio of 1:5. 

You can also mix the adhesive with a damp stick or mix in a couple of water drops to reduce the cure time by approx. 50% (cure time will vary slightly). 

 

4. How does Stormsure cure?

Stormsure Flexible Repair Adhesive is moisture curing. Water vapour coming into contact with the adhesive initiates a chemical curing reaction. 

 

5. How to repair wellies with Stormsure?

1. Clean the damaged area thoroughly and ensure the repair surface is flat/level.

2. Apply Stormsure adhesive directly to the tear or hole.

3. Smooth the adhesive evenly with a spatula or similar tool.

4.Keep the glue horizontal to avoid drips forming. Let the repair cure for 36-48 hours for maximum durability. For faster results, use Stormcure Accelerator.

 

6. How to remove Stormsure glue from hands?

Wipe off excess adhesive with a paper cloth. Use a solvent like acetone or isopropyl alcohol. Remove as much glue as possible by rubbing your hands together to create friction. Any leftover adhesive is difficult to remove, but applying talcum powder can help reduce the tackiness. The leftover adhesive will come off within a few days. 

 

7. What kind of glue is Stormsure?

Stormsure is a moisture-curing polyurethane glue, known for its flexibility, toughness, durability, and waterproofing properties. It is ideal for repairing outdoor gear, flexible materials, shoes and boots, inflatable items, wood, concrete and much more.

 

8. How to store Stormsure?

Squeeze the glue to the top of the neck the tube (so there is no air bubble in the tube) and screw the cap on firmly. Store partly-used tubes in the freezer to prevent curing. When ready to use, defrost the tube by placing it in a mug of hot water. Tubes can be frozen and defrosted multiple times without affecting performance.
