Product Description
Fast Drying Cyanoacrylate Glue
ProtoColle Flexible is a fast-drying cyanoacrylate adhesive designed for bonding flexible and absorbent materials used in footwear, orthotic modification and workshop repair.
It is made for jobs where speed matters, where a flexible bond is preferred, and where you want a clean, simple application without needing an activator.
This adhesive is particularly well suited to leather, PUR, EVA, rubber, fabrics, foams and other porous or flexible components. For repair professionals, technicians and careful home users, it offers a practical way to create a rapid bond without the brittleness often associated with instant glues.
Key selling points
- Fast bond in seconds for quick repair and assembly work
- No activator required, helping keep application simple
- Flexible cured film that is better suited to moving materials
- Works well on porous and absorbent surfaces used in footwear and orthotics
- Useful across leather, EVA, PUR, rubber, fabric, wood and foams
- Easy to apply in a thin film for accurate, low-mess bonding
What it does and how it works
This is a modified cyanoacrylate adhesive formulated to create a very fast initial bond while staying more flexible after curing than a brittle instant glue.
In practical use, that means it can help hold materials that need to flex slightly during wear or handling, rather than simply becoming hard and prone to cracking.
Applied as a thin film to one side, it bonds quickly when the parts are pressed together.
That makes it useful for footwear repairs, orthotic workshop tasks, component bonding and detail work where a fast set and accurate positioning are important.
Common problems it may help with
- Fast shoe and footwear repairs where parts need bonding without long curing delays
- Bonding flexible materials that may fail with a brittle adhesive film
- Securing leather, rubber, EVA or fabric components in workshop and repair settings
- Quick orthotic and footwear modification tasks where accuracy and speed are both important
- Small repair jobs involving porous or absorbent materials that benefit from a thin, instant adhesive
Applications and suitability
- Footwear repair and finishing
- Orthotic workshop adjustments and additions
- Bonding rubber, EVA, PUR and leather components
- Fabric, foam and wood bonding where a fast set is useful
- O-rings, EPDM and similar flexible materials
- Professional workshop use and careful home repair use
Who it may not suit
- Jobs that need extended repositioning time before parts are fixed in place
- Applications where a slower-curing adhesive would be easier to control
- Large gap-filling work where a thin instant adhesive is unlikely to be the best choice
- Projects where surfaces cannot be cleaned and prepared before bonding

Contraindications & warnings
- Use on clean, prepared surfaces for best bonding performance.
- Apply only a thin film and position parts promptly, as the bond forms quickly.
- Store according to the stated temperature guidance to help maintain performance.
Storage guidance: Minimum 6 months at 20°C, around 12 months at 3-6°C in a fridge, and long-term freezer storage at -18°C, including after opening.
FAQs
What is ProtoColle Flexible used for?
ProtoColle Flexible is used for fast bonding of flexible and absorbent materials commonly found in footwear repair, orthotic modification and workshop assembly. It is particularly useful when you need a rapid set on materials such as leather, EVA, PUR, rubber, fabric, foam or wood.
How is this different from a standard brittle super glue?
This formula is designed so the adhesive film stays flexible after curing, which makes it more suitable for materials that move or flex in normal use. That can be an advantage in footwear and orthotic work where rigid instant adhesives may be less forgiving.
Do I need an activator?
No. This adhesive is intended to bond in seconds without the need for an activator. That helps simplify application and can make quick repair work easier to manage.
Which materials can it bond?
It is suitable for leather, PUR, EVA, rubber, EPDM, fabrics, wood, foams and many compact surfaces. It is primarily aimed at flexible and absorbent materials rather than jobs that need a thick gap-filling adhesive.
How do I apply it properly?
Clean the working surface with acetone, apply a thin film of glue to one side, then press the parts together immediately. Hand pressure for around 10 seconds is recommended to help establish the bond.
Is it suitable for footwear and orthotic workshops?
Yes. Its fast set, flexible cured film and compatibility with common footwear materials make it well suited to repair benches, orthotic modification areas and general workshop use. It is especially useful for smaller, accuracy-led bonding jobs where speed matters.
Can it be used at home as well as in a workshop?
Yes, careful home users can use it for suitable repair tasks, particularly when working with leather, rubber-like materials or footwear components. Because it bonds quickly, it is best used by people who can prepare the surfaces and position parts accurately before pressing together.
How should it be stored?
For storage guidance, keep it at around 20°C for a minimum 6-month shelf life, at 3-6°C in a fridge for around 12 months, or in a deep freezer at -18°C for extended storage. The page also states freezer storage can be used even after the bottle has been opened.
