Sole Repair with Treadmill Belt by darlingtom

Step 4: Duct Tape

P1030356.JPG
Because the shoe is curved, I found the treadmill belt was pulling away from the sole at the ends while drying, so I held it in place with duct tape. 

I taped the arch first to pull it up.  Then I worked my way to the toe and heel to keep it tight to the sole.

Shoe Goo recommends 48 and 72 hours to set.

As the Goo squirted out the sides, it glued some of the tape to the shoe.  You can clean that up later, or put some Vaseline on the sides of the old shoe sole prior to gluing so no Goo sticks.  You may not need tape all the way around (I went a little crazy).
