4 Tubes Rema SVS-Vulc Tube Patch Vulcanizing Cement 5 Gram (7 ml)

I bought this product to repair a very expensive pair of Altra hiking shoes. Altra warrantied the shoes and sent me a new pair, but told me to toss the defective ones. I have a hard time tossing a $225.00 pair of hiking shoes with less than 20 miles on them. I followed the directions and washed to shoe sole with hot water and Dawn dishwashing liquid. I then let them dry in the sun completely. Then I cleaned the sole liberally with Acetone and let them dry in the sun again. Then I put a good amount of the glue on the sole and the tread and let it dry for about 5 minutes. I then stuck the tread back to the sole and clamped it tightly with a good wood clamp. I left it clamped for 24 hours. As you can see in the before and after pictures the tread is securely attached to the sole. I have been wearing them for hiking and general work for a week with no issues. This stuff works if you follow the procedure.

I bought these to carry on my bike in case of tire problems. They are the perfect size to carry, small and compact. Multiple 4 pack means hopefully that I won't have to worry about having glue when I need it. Volcanizing glue is the best for patching your bicycle tire tubes

Years ago my winter pac boots got a hole in the rubber base and a shoe repair guy bonded a peice of rubber to it. It held for years. Years later, the same thing happened to another pair of winter boots. After reading up on it, I learned you can "vulcanize" a rubber patch to the rubber boot. This SVS-VULC vulcanizing solution makes the rubber on the patch permanently bind to rubber on the boot. But, it is not like a standard "rubber cement" where you add a patch to the gooey cement and it dries. For the holes in my boots, I cut a piece of rubber bike tube to cover the hole. I cleaned the talc off the bike tube piece, scuffed it with sand paper, and wiped it with rubbing alcohol. Same thing to the rubber on the boot surrounding the hole. Add a layer of this vulcanizing solution to BOTH the patch and boot. Let it dry... It won't even look like glue anymore, but let it thoroughly dry. It takes a few minutes. Then place the patch on the rubber and press it firmly on the boot. It sticks instantly and firmly. Apparently, the vulcanizing solution frees up the rubber molecules so they ban bind to one another and permanently fuse the patch to the boot. This worked great. In the attached photo there is a rubber patch on both boots where there were holes.

This is the best repair cement out there, but the price for what you get is pretty high. In my view, this is "too much cement for too much money." Maybe you can sell a tube or two to a friend?

Better all round than cheaper brands. Lasts a long time. You only need a small amount to make a permanent fix.

One of the things that I do is repair bicycle inner tubes so that a local charity can rehabilitate used bicycles so that they can be sold. Rema Tip-top, as it does with every one of their products that I have used, is head and shoulders above every competitor - sufficiently that it is well work paying more. Their patches are easier to use, particularly with regard to removing the cellophane backing, and, in this case, the vulcanizing fluid, or, if you prefer the glue, sets quicker than any other that I've encountered and holds better.

works great for bicycle tire repair.

Seemed like every time I had to patch a flat, I could find a couple of old half-used tubes of glue from patching previous flats. But try to use them, and what did I find? The old glue was completely dried up and the tube was useless. Now I feel rich, with 4 unopened and unused tubes! One for this bike kit, one for that bike kit, one for garage, and one in reserve. How good does life get? And I bet that with 4 tubes of glue around, I won't even get a flat in 2024 ;-)
