If you are using an abraded neoprene material make sure your shell is roughed up well, especially in the heel cup area. Use two light coats of contact cement (3M Fast Bond #10 is the best we have found) and do not stretch the neoprene when applying it to the shell. Some thick nesses of neoprene are not pre-abraded. In this case you need to lightly rough the non-abraded surface of the neoprene. Use a heavy grit sand paper and a firm backer (1/2” to 3/4" crepe) to maintain continuity between the sand paper and the neoprene. Do not push too hard against the sanding belt! Material will bounce and tear. Follow the same techniques as mention before. Good Luck!!! |
