Renia Video 40E Material rock climbing

Rock climbing shoes with their special sticky rubber soles pose a bonding challenge - one that is crucial to master when repairing such shoes. This video explains how such materials can be bonded safely.

great set of videos, I have been a Renia customer for years and was still confused about the utility of each product. Now, as far as the curing process of 72 hours, what temperature range can they sit at. My shop is not climate controlled unless I am actively working in it. how low or high can the temperature get? thanks

Dr Rainer Buchholz, Wouldn’t using thinner to soften the TR used on climbing shoes work better as a primer than Rehagol? In fact, wouldn’t using a heavily thinned (2:1 or more) PU-based adhesive like Syntic-TOTAL as a first thin layer followed 20 min later with un-diluted adhesive (but with cross-linked hardener) allow the best bond to the TR and to itself when the two sides are brought together with force and some heat? Or does the thinner weaken the TR to adhesive to TR bond somehow? Would it be better to apply the adhesive when the thinner is hot and dry and gone, or cool and still wet on the rubber?
