Taping techniques
Depending on the tasks to be solved, the following aesthetic taping techniques are distinguished:
- - Lymphatic drainage taping of the face and body. Relieves swelling on the eyelids, face, legs, reduces nasolabial folds, forms a sharper contour of the face and body, and reduces cellulite.
- - Corrective taping of the face and figure. It is used to correct wrinkles, tighten the oval, reduce the wings, form correct posture, eliminate withers and cellulite, lose weight, lift breasts, relieve PMS symptoms, and support during pregnancy.
- - Taping for home use. At home, tapes will help with hematomas, bruises.
- - Art-taping - artistic overlay of the tape. Usually tapes with a beautiful pattern are glued to the body. In addition to the main corrective function, a beautiful applique has an aesthetic effect.
Attention! Taping relieves swelling, but does not eliminate the causes of swelling. Systemic diseases that cause swelling, such as thyroid disease, cardiopulmonary disease, and kidney disease, require medical supervision

How to glue leather to different surfaces
Combining leather with decor from various natural and artificial materials, you can get very interesting and unique handmade products. Massive jewelry looks beautiful and unusual, for example, leather pendants with wooden or plastic beads, as well as panels and other home decor items.
Wood
The easiest way to glue the leather to the wood is with double-sided tape, but this option is more temporary. For durable souvenirs, you can use a thermal gun or nitro-glue.
Plastic
Very often, the problem of how to glue natural or artificial leather on plastic is faced by motorists who want to patch up the interior on their own. Experienced craftsmen advise using aerosol glue or "Moment".
Textile
PVA does a fairly good job of fixing, but if the material is thin and light, stains may appear. Specialty stores sell transparent fabric adhesives that will provide durability and leave no residue.
Some methods
When repairing leather surfaces, you often have to deal with scratches, cuts, and even holes when you have to put a patch. There are several time-tested methods that can help you prolong the life of your favorite item.
Patching out
To fix the product using the “outward patching” method, cut a piece of a material that matches the color and texture of the material slightly larger than the hole to be closed. Glue is applied to the prepared surfaces, the patch is pressed from the outside and placed under the load until completely dry.
Bonding the leather of a jacket with a patch from the inside
If the damage is small, it makes sense to put a patch on the wrong side. In this case, the patch is placed under the gap, and the edges of the torn item are tried to be placed as close to each other as possible so that the defect is invisible. The glue is used according to the instructions.
Break the corner
If you catch a nail with your sleeve, you can get damage in the form of a corner. Such a defect is eliminated by using a patch from the inside. The torn area is glued to the attached patch, the edges of the gap are glued together joint-to-joint.
Tearing off a whole piece
In the event that some of the material is missing, you can restore the thing in different ways: find the most similar patch, mask the defect with applique, replace the whole piece of clothing.If the hem of a long leather coat is damaged, it makes sense to completely shorten it and thus update your wardrobe.
Cut on the jacket
To make the cut on the leather surface invisible, the base is glued under the damaged area, and the edges of the defect are fastened together. At the same time, the glue is conveniently applied with a toothpick. The thing is left under load until the composition is dry.
What glue is right
The choice of glue depends on the characteristics specified by the manufacturer and the price.
Cement based
The adhesive composition includes cement grades M400, M500, M600. Inexpensive funds are used for indoor and outdoor work. Frost resistance depends on additives.
Polyurethane
Polyester based synthetic adhesive. Issued in the form of mastic... The speed of hardening depends on the air temperature. The composition does not interact with aggressive media.
Polyester
Two-component composition for gluing marble, available in three consistencies:
- fluid;
- viscous;
- solid.
The multi-color range allows you to use it for decorating mosaic panels.
Epoxy
The two-component composition has good adhesion properties to concrete, metal, stone, withstands low temperatures. It is used for external and internal coating of structural elements of buildings.
Impregnants
Glues of this type are produced in the form of a gel that penetrates into the pores of the stone, cracks. After hardening, it acquires monolithic properties with a stone, amenable to grinding, polishing. The tool is used for outdoor work due to its resistance to low temperatures and atmospheric influences.
Reliable manufacturers
You should not save on glue, the quality of the repair depends on it. It is recommended to purchase it from reliable manufacturers:
- "Contact". Domestic manufacturer, adhesives for leather, rubber shoes are produced. The products are good sealants. The glue of the same name does not possess great frost resistance, therefore it is undesirable to use it for winter options.
- EVA. This is a manufacturer from Taiwan. Manufactures products with water resistance, elasticity, strength, durability. Mainly designed for winter shoes, but not rubber boots.
- Henkel. Moment is the most famous trademark of this concern in Russia. Glue for shoes of the same name has elasticity, frost resistance, water resistance. There are many varieties. The Moment glue is on sale in packages of different sizes.
- Kenda. Manufacturer from Italy. Produces adhesives that are successfully applied to all surfaces. The products are resistant to temperature extremes, moisture resistant.
- Desmokol. An Italian company that has gained popularity due to the high quality and reliability of its products. The compounds produced by it combine various materials, they can seal any crack in the sole of the shoe or the upper part. Can be used as a sealant.
All compositions are flammable, therefore, precautions should be taken during operation and storage.
It is very important to use a mask and protective gloves during the repair process. In order not to inhale harmful vapors, it is necessary to ensure good ventilation of the room.
At this moment, it is better to send the children for a walk.

Additional tips and tricks
When starting to repair a leather product at home, you need to remember a few simple rules:
With the help of glue alone, as a rule, small damage is eliminated; in the case of a large defect in size, it must be sewn up or use an additional patch.
The container with the glue must be closed immediately after taking the required dose of the substance, otherwise the composition will dry out quickly.
If the substance needs to be diluted, take a small amount, which will be sufficient for a single use.
When applying the glue with a brush or roller, it must be cleaned with a solvent after work.
It is imperative to observe safety precautions: if the composition is flammable, it must be applied away from open fire.
Glue from foreign manufacturers can be called differently, so you should carefully study the description.
If the liquid leather or patch is slightly different in color from the main product, after repair, you can correct the shade with spray paint.
When choosing glue in a store, you need to pay attention, including the size of the tube and the presence of an applicator or a sharp tip for ease of application.
If you need to purchase glue for leather, a variety of assortment on store shelves will allow you to choose a substance that is most suitable for a specific material and a specific task.
It is enough to carefully study the instructions, paying attention to the composition and characteristics

What varieties are suitable
To work with leather goods, you can use a universal glue, in the description of which it is written what is suitable for such a material. But it is better to buy a special composition after all.
Nairite
Outwardly, it resembles a light yellow transparent resin. On the one hand, ease of use is in favor of nairite glue, and on the other hand, a high-quality final result. The substance is used by professional shoemakers to repair shoes.
Desmokolovy
It is a polyurethane adhesive, which is often used instead of nairite, since the substances are considered interchangeable. The advantages of the composition include transparency - after repair, there are no streaks on the product.
Rubber-based
The main constituents of a rubber adhesive are rubber, artificial or natural, and a solvent. The advantages of such a substance will be high elasticity and water-repellent properties.
Universal "Moment"
You can buy a Moment tube at a hardware store, and choose the most convenient packaging. In order for the composition to grab, the surfaces to be glued must be strongly pressed against each other, while there is no need to hold it in this position for a long time.
Silicone
For ease of use, silicone adhesive sealant is sold in packages of different formats: from applicator guns to cylinders with syringes. Long-term storage of the composition, as a rule, is ensured in this way: the dispensing tip is unscrewed and the container is sealed with a screw cap.
Aerosols
Aerosol glue is also called spray glue. An indispensable property of the composition is the ability to apply in a thin layer by spraying. Due to this method of application, the substance dries almost instantly - from 5 minutes to an hour.
SMS glue
CMC or CMC glue is a white powder, which is diluted with water in the specified proportion before use. Usually, when working with leather, craftsmen use this composition to polish the cut of the product.
"Moment Crystal"
The colorless composition will not leave visible marks on things, and the excess can be removed by rolling the dried glue into a ball with your fingers. The substance will not only glue the leather surfaces together, but will also help to connect different materials, for example, the suede upper of the shoe and the rubber sole.
Types of face tapes
For the face, soft tapes on a cotton or silk basis are usually used, with a thin layer of hypoallergenic acrylic glue applied using a special technique that does not interfere with skin breathing.
- - For corrective modeling, the tape is cut into rectangular strips (I-tape) about 1 cm, 2.5 cm, 5 cm wide.
- - For lymphatic drainage taping, a wide rectangular strip of tape is cut into 4-5 narrow long strips, leaving a common base of about 2 cm (lymph tape). The width of the cut strips of lymph tape is from 0.5 to 1.5 cm, depending on the area of application. The common base is called an anchor. The anchor is always glued without tensioning the tape in the neutral position of the muscles.
- - For resorption of hematomas, use ready-made mesh tapes - cross-tapes or make similar applications from narrow strips of ordinary tape.

How to use correctly
The next step after choosing an adhesive is the correct application. Initially, you need to do some preliminary preparation. Before applying the glue, the surface must be degreased with alcohol or acetone. Then wipe dry. It should be applied in such a way that one layer is a couple of millimeters. The product may need to be used several times. After a short drying time, the shoe parts are squeezed. In this position, they are left for a day. It is recommended to remove excess composition immediately, since it will be difficult to do this upon final drying. The room where the process takes place should be equipped with ventilation.
There are several ways to glue the sole at home. The choice depends on whether it all came off or just moved away a little. If it has come off in several places, then it would be better to separate it completely, and then follow the usual instructions. Before gluing the sole to a shoe or other footwear, the surface must be cleaned with a sharp spatula from the remnants of old glue. Sandpaper is also suitable for this. A crack in the sole is sealed by putting a nylon or a piece of rubber into it.
There are two ways to glue the sole. The cold technique is simple to perform, it is described above. The hot method requires preheating the surface of the product - it is advisable to use it when the material has increased hardness.

The gluing process
To make the patch less noticeable after repair, and the surface looks neat, adhere to the following recommendations:
Preparatory stage
- Cut the patch to the desired size and shape. The patch should be a few millimeters larger than the hole on each side.
- Trim the edges of the damage with a blade so that there are no notches and irregularities.
- Clean the surface of the patch itself and the main product from dirt. To do this, wipe them thoroughly with a damp cloth several times.
- Degrease your skin using acetone.
- For better grip, sand the sides that will be adjacent to each other with sandpaper.
Methods for bonding leather with a patch outward
- If the damaged area is large, it is better to use a spacer on the wrong side of the product. To do this, cut out a piece similar in size and shape to a patch from a dense material.
- After the preparatory step, apply glue to the surface of the patch, the edges of the main product and the backing. Use a stiff brush to spread it evenly.
- Leave it on for a while for the glue to set. The time for the glue to cure can be different and depends on the type of adhesive component. This information is indicated in the instructions for the adhesives.
- After a thin film forms, repeat the previous step and wait again.
- Next, connect all the elements so that the damaged edges are between the patch and the gasket.
- Place the product on a flat, hard surface. A small weight can be placed on top to prevent waves from forming.
The method of gluing the leather of a jacket with a patch from the inside
The work is carried out from the seamy side. If there is a lining inside, you need to carefully open it.
- Cut out a patch 3–4 mm larger than the gap.
- Clean the edges of cuts and the patch of dirt and degrease with acetone.
- Apply adhesive evenly to the damaged area and patch.
- Wait until it starts to set and repeat the procedure.
- Fit the edges of the gap to each other as tightly as possible. There should be no gaps between them.
- Cover with a patch on the seamy side and press firmly.
- On the front side, apply a small amount of glue between the leather layers and the patch.
- Leave under a press on a flat surface until the glue is completely dry.
Application of liquid skin
For the most delicate repair of products, liquid leather is used. This composition is used for superficial restorations. It is a special paint that has high adhesion. Its non-dense structure allows it to penetrate into the depth of the material and create an elastic and durable adhesion. A wide color range of adhesive paint allows you to choose a shade that is as close as possible to the base material.
For using liquid skin:
- Clean the surface from dirt and degrease.
- Apply adhesive with a stiff brush and spread evenly over the damaged areas.
- If there is a gap, bond the edges tightly and apply liquid leather with a hard sponge on the front side.
- When the composition is dry, repeat the procedure.

Where to find quality face tapes
Site users ask the question: Where can I find high-quality face tapes?
For the face, delicate neckline, tummy, soft cotton tapes for sensitive skin with a thin adhesive layer or thin silk tapes are well suited. The color of the tape only affects the mood.
Application for bonding plastics
The food glue designed for decorating pastries and cakes has a property that helps to use it for other purposes. Among the kitchen utensils today, a large place is occupied by plastic utensils.
If your favorite plate, cup, or food container cracks and breaks at the most inopportune moment, you can apply food glue for a quick repair. To do this, it is necessary to dilute the SMS thickener (or carboxymethyl cellulose) in water not in the usual ratio of 1 to 30, but in a more concentrated ratio of 1 to 45. The mixture is thoroughly mixed in a bottle with a lid. Its structure will gradually become homogeneous and usable. If the consistency is too thick, it is worth adding water to the composition.
After being repaired with food-grade glue, plastic dishes can last for a very long time without harming those who use them.
What materials is used for
Latex adhesive can be used on many materials. Most often, a water-based mixture is used in the manufacture of shoes or during repairs.
It is recommended to use glue for these types of materials:
- clay (polymer);
- leather (natural or artificial);
- floor coverings (carpet, linoleum);
- ceramics (dishes, finishing tiles);
- polymer or fabric materials.
When joining parts made of polymer clay, it is recommended to use glue made from natural rubber. For leather goods, a substance based on an artificial active element is more suitable.
Latex adhesive is also recommended for cellulosic materials. Do not use the mixture for metal parts. Polymer components emit a dangerous element for the metal - chlorine, which can provoke the formation of corrosion. The adhesion strength when joining metal structures is also extremely weak, so it is better to use a more suitable glue designed specifically for fixing metal parts.
Adhesive is also often added to cement slurry. This additive increases the elasticity and significantly increases the duration of action. It is recommended to add the adhesive component before using the solution - during long-term storage, the mass will become thick and dense, which will greatly complicate the uniform application.
What do professionals use
Professional shoe glue does not contain impurities and is stored in jars, not small tubes. Often produced by well-known manufacturers. Workers in shoemakers can tell you exactly which shoe glue is good. These include nairite, polyurethane. For minor repairs, vinyl chloride is suitable, but it is not suitable for fastening the sole of a shoe. It is also not used for the repair of winter models.
The brands most used in workshops are Henkel (his Moment adhesives are known in Russia), Kenda Farben SPA, and Rogneda. One of the compositions recommended by specialists is "Nairit-1". For amateur repairs, it is not very suitable because of its viscous composition, and for professional repairs, it is ideal. The product does not contain harmful substances, has an average cost.
HenkelKenda Farben SARNairit-1
General rules of application
Before starting work, you must carefully study the instructions for using the selected glue. To ensure safety when working with toxic compounds, it is better to perform activities outdoors. It is advisable to protect hands with gloves.
Preparation
Before work, you need to prepare the workplace: protect the table surface and, if necessary, the floor. It is easier to prevent the ingress of glue than to remove accidental marks from the decoration of the room later. The thing to be repaired is cleaned and dried, the surface is degreased.
Gluing
In order to stick one leather surface to another, you need to thoroughly grease it or apply the composition to both - it depends on the chosen product. It is better to remove excess immediately. After eliminating the defect, the thing is left to dry for a while, as a rule, it takes a day.

General rules for the use of adhesives for working with marble and granite
The rules for using adhesives for natural stone differ according to the place of facing. The general rule is to prepare the place of work and material. They are cleaned from dust and dirt. The amount of adhesive should correspond to the area of the stone slabs to be glued.
Outdoor work
Exterior cladding works are performed with cement and epoxy compounds. Both types of glue are prepared just before gluing. Water or latex is added to the dry mixture, and the hardener is added to the epoxy resin in the proportions indicated by the manufacturer.
It is necessary to use the adhesive within the specified period. The adhesive remaining over time loses its properties. You cannot add new portions to it and mix.
Internal work
Internal walls can be concrete, plastered, brick. Before proceeding with gluing, they must be freed from paint, wallpaper. The floors and walls are checked with a level so that the stone slabs do not protrude one above the other.

Criterias of choice
The correct concept for choosing your own shoe glue is to set a specific task. For fixing inside the insole, the usual version of the product is suitable. If the sole has come off, then it would be better to purchase a reinforced composition. A quality product cannot spoil the materials. During the repair process, shoe parts retain their appearance - their deformation is unacceptable. The seams must remain elastic, and the fixation must be of high quality and hold for a long time. The joints after repair with expensive, good composition are frost-resistant, moisture-resistant, elastic, wear-resistant.
Which shoe glue should be used depends on the materials to be joined. Many types are suitable for rubber, leather, fabric, felt, suede, synthetics. But to attach the sole of a boot made of polyurethane, not everyone can do it. If the repair is planned to be done for a short time, then you can purchase an inexpensive tool. In this case, it is recommended to use epoxy adhesive. For long-term wear, it's worth investing in the more expensive option. Famous brands should be preferred. For what purposes one or another shoe glue is used, you can understand by studying the instructions for use or reading the information on the packaging.
