Use only SURGICAL GRADE ACETONE (ACETONE BP) or ALCOHOL (ALCOHOL BP) or COMMERICAL GRADE ETHER DO NOT USE any other fluids such as Nail Polish Remover, White Spirit, Methylated Spirit, Petrol, etc. These will not adequately remove contamination and will leave residues which will destroy the glue bond.

DO NOT USE any other materials, including coloured or printed fabrics, paper towels, woven paper wahing up cloths etc. All of these contain dressings which will be dissolved by the Degreasing Fluid and deposited on the shoe and hoof. This will prevent adhesion of the glue.
