• Gently press plastic into indentations with your finger and whilst continuing to smooth the shoe rim edge.
• Check that all indentations contain
plastic from the shoe rim and not just
adhesive – the ball and socket is an
essential feature for successful shoe
retention – (see photo section through
hoof). • Check that there is frog contact and mould plastic if necessary. • Ensure that there is no ‘ridge’ between rim and hoof wall.
• Blend heels of shoe to heels of
hoof before shoe hardens.
• Check for adequate sole seating
clearance at toe.
• When satisfied with the position and fit, the shoe can now be set.
• Using Imprint Shoe Freezer, spray all surfaces of shoe taking care not to spray any sensitive
parts of the horse’s hoof.
• Ensure plastic horseshoe is completely hard and white before allowing the horse to
weight bear.
• Check that the shoe rim and hoof
wall bond is intact with no hollows or
movement.
• Run a thin bead of Imprint Structural Adhesive around the top of the shoe rim and smooth with your finger to ensure a seal.
• Stand for at least ten minutes or
until adhesive has set.
• Fitting is now complete.
