It is difficult to find a cement that will adhere to the composition of which goloshes are made. Still, the following method of repairing may prove successful. First, the part to be repaired must be roughened with a coarse rasp.- If it is soft, cover it with a coat or two of indiarubber solution and serve a piece of vulcanised indiarubber in the same way; when both are nearly dry - that is, just tacky - warm them by a slow fire and then press the patch to its place. When it is set, trim up with knife, file, and sandpaper. If the old stuff is hard, mix some gutta-percha with indiarubber solution by warming the former till it is well melted and then stirring the two well together. This, if not too thick, can be put on with the finger; if it is thick, it may be ironed on with a warm iron, after a coat of plain solution has been applied to the golosh and has dried. Then to repair, a piece of thin sheet gutta-percha can be thrown into hot water, taken out when soft, wiped dry, and then held on the golosh near a fire.

When just sticky the two are pressed together, and when cold and hard, finished with knife and glasspaper.
