    Re-Bonding Boot Rands

    Use Freesole to permanently re-bond a peeling boot rand. First remove dirt, then clean the bonding area with Cotol-240™ (best) or rubbing alcohol and a stiff brush. Apply Freesole in the gap. Tape or clamp firmly in place and dry overnight. When taping, insert a pen to apply pressure directly on the rand.
