Hello everyone. Today I'll be showing you guys how I changed the insole of my cousin @k-banti's slippers. Yesterday he told me that the insole of his slippers was peeling.
When I saw it, I realized the leather that was used was fake, so I volunteered to help him change it.
The materials I used
- maco (1 pair)
- leather ( 2 sqr ft)
- gum
Equipment and tools
- filing machine
- hammer
- scissors
- punch
- silver pen
- cutting knife
- gum brush
So the first thing I did was to remove the old leather that was on it.
Then I traced the sole shape unto the maco and cut it out
After that I traced the shape of the maco on the leather
Then I applied gum to one face of the maco and the part of the leather I sketched.
I waited for it to dry then I joined them together and beat it gently with a hammer
Then I cut it out
I then placed the former leather on the new one and mark out where all the holes would go
After that I used the punch to drill holes and the cutter to cut the slits for the straps
Then I put in the straps, lasted it (set the straps) and used gum to hold it
After that I applied gum to both the sole and the new insole
Then I put them together and used the filing machine to smoothen the edges
And that's it. @k-banti really liked it and I'm glad I could be of help to him.
