thanks in advance

only works with clear bottom soles.
sand paper or repaint.

wrong it has been proven that it works on rubber uch more tidious and not as amazing results but nit worksnot the less sanding the pods would make it be smooth instead of the way it is lol

if its falling apart, then yes


and halfway wrong lol you can soleswap but it is done for those shoes.........

Can you show where it has been proven?

halfway wrong? Did he ask for an alternative? He just asked if its done for. So NO, it's not "halfway wrong"

And can you type where at least a 7 year old can read? your grammar is HORRIBLE. I feel like i sounded like im ******ed myself for reading what you wrote.

[cpinoy]

So does replacing the paper with a white towel help prevent aging? thanks please respond

 

[thefreshestwhiteboy301]

CPinoy i dont think it would you need some way of keeping the moisture away from your kicks and the towel might help fade suede and nubuck shoes

you can fill the holes with paintable caulking and repaint with angelus

 

[thefreshestwhiteboy301]

where can i buy the caulk and paint? and should i sand before i fill it in ?

you can pick up a small tube of paintable caulk from any hardware store
the angelus paint can be bought online from turtlefeathers.net but if there's an arts and craftst store in your area they may have something similar. Thething about angelus brand is that it's flexible and waterproof once cured and is made especially for shoe restorations and customizing so take that intoconsideration before applying just any acrylic paint
and yes, you'll have to lightly sand those spots if you want to get a nice even finish before you apply the caulking

 

[thefreshestwhiteboy301]

thanks bro ^^^^ also would a Mr clean magic eraser clean the mid sole on them and should i do that before i do any thing?

 

[ihavegout]

it won't fix your problem but it's always a good idea to clean the surface that you're gonna restore first. Just be sure to clean any residue themagic eraser leaves behind and dry them well before you start your project

OK NT ive been seaglowing with this process... 1. Clean the sole with soap and water 2. Dry 3. Apply seaglow with a cotton 4.scrub with a pad (i use the dishcleaning ones) 5. reapply seaglow and scrub again 6. apply seaglow and put in sun

I still havent seen the results i see here on NT who say that they achieve with two hours or a week

What am i doing wrong??

it takes alot of patience. You are applying it correctly but results will vary depending on weather and how yellow your soles were to begin with. Just beconsistant and patient.

Is there any alternate to RIT Color Remover/Whitener and Brighterner?

I can't find either one is Wal-Mart. I don't want to use BKF either since some comments of it being real bad for shoes. I was think Oxy Clean, but notsure yet.
