1. Make sure your boots are clean and dry, then use the guide in the 7 steps booklet to identify the best match.
2. Mix the correct ratios of each colour.
3. Knead the sugru in your fingers until the colour is consistent throughout.
4. Work with small pieces of sugru and build up the repair gradually. Press and rub the sugru into the fabric. If it sticks to your fingers, wipe them with dry tissue paper.
5. Use the back of your finger nail to smooth the surface.
6. Make sure all edges are well bonded.
7. Leave to cure for 24 hours before use.
