Title: Best way to apply a toe guard?
Post by: Liam-SCCC on April 01, 2011, 04:09:06 PM

What is the best and most effective way to apply one of these?

Cut it to size and then stick it? Or stick it and then cut it?

Also, what glue is best?

Posbably to stick it on then sand it, but only if you have access to a mechanical sander.

Yeah I will try that now. Not the end of the world if it doesn't work as it was only £1.50 and got some shoe goo on the way

I'd say just go with the shoe goo, forget the toe guard

Yeah, but want to try a normal toe guard once again. Shoe goo is a back up

Anyone know what glue to use. I have a toe guard but no glue left

Use a good quality contact adhesive, put on both toes and toe guard leave until nearly dry and they will stick together like s**t on a shovel.  Then use a sharpe stanley or craft knife to shape and a quick sand.
