Aqua Sure.Expensive,but it works for me.make sure the felt is really dry.Heat up the A/S in a cup of hot water.1tube per sole.Spread glue on both sides.Clamp sole securely together (4-6 clamps) leave for 24hrs.

Aquasure is good but I use Gorilla glue from screw fix. Look at this link Gorilla Glue Online (MAP UK) | Suppliers of Gorilla Glue|Gorilla Tape|Gorilla Wipes|Wood Glue|GorillaGlueOnline.co.uk | GorillaGlueOnline.co.uk You only need a bit. Spray the sole and the felt with water from an atomiser or use a wet cloth. Then apply the glue. The water reacts with the glue. It foams up and seeps into every noo and cranny. It soaks into the felt aswell so its a solid bond. Aquasure doesnt as it just forms a layer on top of the rubber sole and felt. Pin it with map pins around the edges and then clamp it with 2 clamps......wipe of any foaming glue round the edges every 10 mins for the first 1/2 hour then leave it overnight....... They will never fail you again
