IT IS ESSENTIAL THE HOOF IS DRY
There are 2 methods of fitting Glushu glue on horse shoes.
FAST FIX - For horses who cannot hold their feet off the ground due to soreness. For colder temperatures where holding the hoof for minutes is difficult.
You will need per pair of Glushu:
1 x 150ml tube Shufit acrylic glue
1 x pack fast fix Glue and activator spay ( will last 4-6 pairs)
1 x hoof pick to help pull back the cuffs whilst backfilling with acrylic glue
1 x Clear roll of hoofwrap
STANDARD - for horses who do not have any special needs when standing for shoeing. For use in temperate climates.

Application Instructions: Please note it is essential the hoof is dry prior to application.
Step 1
Fast Fix - Put a small bead of CA Glue around the bottom of the hoof wall and spray the inside of the shoe with the primer/activator.
Standard - Put a medium bead of warm Shufit or acrylic glue around the inside base of the shoe and inside surface of the cuff.
Step 2
Holding back the side of the cuffs, slide the shoe onto the hoof, aligning it with the frog and adjust to the correct position.
Fast Fix - HOLD FOR 30 SECONDS
Standard - PROCEED TO STEP 4
Step 3
Fast Fix Only - Once the CA glue has set, place the hoof on the ground and backfill the cuff with warm Shufit or Acrylic glue.
Step 4
Use clear hoof wrap to hold the shoe and cuff to the hoof wall while the glue is curing.
Fast Fix - place the hoof on the ground and leave for a suggested 10 mins before removing the hoof wrap.
Standard - Hold for a minimum of 5 mins.
Your horse will be able to walk around but ensure you allow the glue cure for a further hour before riding.
