Help with Dog Bone

[Chunk]

Hi All,

 

Just a quick question. Im working on my Summer Scout boots & need some help. Im ready to apply the dog bone & wanted to know how everyone does it. Should I apply E-6000 on the entire underside then lay it on the boot or just apply it to the ends?

I do the entire trim, if not you just get a horrid gap over the top

Yup, glue the whole bleedin' lot.

 

I pull it down over the boot and stretch it into position, so there are no unsightly gaps...

 

I then either tape, or pin the bone in place (at the bottom, near the sole) whilst the glue dries.

Marcel when you say entire trim. Do you mean just apply the glue around the edge so the middle is free floating? Or do you mean glue the entire underside of the dogbone? Don't wanna get anything lost in our diffrent versions of english.

If it helps...

 

I glue ALL of the sides of the dog bone, and then JUST THE EDGES (say 10-15mm) in the centre bit as it goes over the bridge of the foot.

When I make the boots the whole surface is covered in E6000 not just be edges

Thanks Marcel. I will add the dog bone & toe strip tomorrow.
