Just tape off the PL and anything else you're afraid to get glue on. It's not cost effective to send them out for 1 spot to be reglued. If anything keep wearing them until it completely or mostly seperates then get them restored.
i use airbrush.. very clean outcome and you can do light coats.. no crack or chip on my repainted midsoles (yet) wore 10x or more. i just used HF airbrush. just make sure you add 2thin.
Yeah, for some reason it hit me like a ton of bricks the other day to do this. Don't know why I didn't think of it earlier. I can imagine how clean it comes out. Sometimes on small spots I see brush strokes, doesn't happen often but I don't like having to go carefully around some tough spots. I just want to mask off and go, simple. I don't have an airbrush, but I want to see what I can find for decent price and good quality. Any suggestions?
harbor freight, very cheap and it works... no need to buy expensive airbrush unless you do restoration services.... $20 for airbrush, $80 with compressor kit.
Good looking out. I'm by no means professional, at this point, I restore to preserve what I have.
You have a better hand than me. Some things you just have to tape off because of the design. The thing that comes to mind is the AJ VI. It has intricate lines and you have to be very careful. I'd airbrush it, but that's me.
Whatever works for you. Sounds like a lot to me. I personally like the airbrush method.
Please see the above pic I quoted for reference. I have the same problem. I didn't see anyone answer it and I've asked that question before and didn't see an answer. I may have missed it though. As far as my III's they are very wearable and are far from done. They are the '03 white cements and the chunks are from the right shoe only. I'll post pics when I get home. I can still wear them. What material do you use to put them back together?
Easy there, I never said I wanted it back to DS form. I'm not as anal about my kicks as some are here. I do realize that the shoe is 13 years old and to restore them back to DS form after wearing them over time is just unreal. Since I'm home, here is my pair...
I'll try it, Never tried it before. Thanks.

Good looks. I don't think they look that bad considering their age. I've seen 2010 Cool Greys look worse than mine already
I was doing shoe prep to strip the paint when I painted it the first time.

I've answered this a few times, with pictures. I cleaned up my son's pair perfectly with Jason Markk
guess it's something I can live with. They have plenty of life though.
