One of our teen attendees brought a damaged skateboarding shoe to our Build Night to see if SUGRU could help. The vinyl part of the shoe was separating from the rubber sole and there was a hole.
Step 1: Clean the Damaged Area
Clean the damaged area well. Let dry. SUGRU will not stick to dirt or grease.
Step 2: Apply SUGRU
Wash your hands. Open a package of SUGRU and squeeze it between your fingers until it is pliable. Stretch the SUGRU and make a patch over the damaged area of the shoe, covering the hole and overlapping onto the original part of the shoe a little.
Step 3: Decorate
Use another color of SUGRU to make your shoe look unique! Let dry 24 hours. Wash your hands again as SUGRU can stain.
