    You may have to 'Google' it to find where you can get it and if you've got the time it's cheaper getting it from the USA [shipping included]. There's also some handing hints on how to use the product on YouTube.
    Store it in the freezer to prolong it's self-life and place in a cup of hot water when you want to use it.

    If you've used a lot of SnowSeal etc on your boots it may be an idea to clean the repair area with Shellite before glueing.
    Cheers
    Sambar3006, I got my free sole and its the shiznit!!! Thanks for the advice mate my boots are sorted.
    Heaps left in the freezer for next pair too!

    And here's the kicker.....I dont get out close to enough!!!
    I try to have a work pair, hunting pair, but because my work pair wears out fast my hunting pair gets sacrificed until I pull the gorse out of my pockets and buy a new pair

    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

    And so you should 2SK. Beer has good curative powers and is highly nourishing at the same time.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    That is OK. There were a number of members I had planned to catch up with that I never got to see.
