Brilio.net - Broken sandal straps can be an annoying problem, especially if it happens at the wrong time. This of course makes it uncomfortable when walking or can even make the sandals unfit for use. The main causes of broken sandal straps can vary, ranging from excessive use to age and the quality of the sandal material itself.
When they encounter conditions like this, a number of people usually throw away their sandals and replace them with new ones. However, instead of buying new ones, there are also those who choose to repair the sandal straps. One way to fix this is to re-attach the rope using glue.
Unfortunately, in some cases, glued sandal straps can come off at any time. Therefore, there are other tricks that can be done to make the repaired sandal straps tighter. To be clearer, this trick was shared by Instagram user @skill.rumahan.
Tricks to repair broken sandal straps using kitchen ingredients.
Through one of the uploaded videos, he admitted that he used a kitchen ingredient to repair a sandal strap that had already broken. Reported by BrilioFood on Thursday (2/5), the kitchen ingredient in question is coffee. More precisely, he uses pure ground coffee without a mixture of sugar or any other ingredients.
"If you just use glue, it's definitely not strong enough," said Instagram @skill.rumahan.

To use it, simply sprinkle coffee on the bottom of the sandals used to connect the straps. After that, drip the surface of the coffee with Alteco glue. Only then attach the rope that was previously cut.

Next, apply more glue to each side of the rope evenly. This will make the sandal straps tighter and not easily come loose or break again. If so, leave it for a few moments until the glue is dry.
So, if the glue is dry, the sandal straps will be tight again. You can wear these sandals as usual. It is guaranteed that the sandal straps will not break again because they have been glued with glue and coffee grounds.

Basically, coffee has properties that can make it an effective ingredient for bonding glue. This is caused by several factors. For example, the caffeine content in coffee. The caffeine in coffee has properties that can stimulate and speed up the drying process. When coffee is used as a mixture in glue, the caffeine content can help the glue dry more quickly and strengthen its adhesive power.
Apart from that, coffee also contains natural oils which can provide moisture to the glue, thereby helping to improve its adhesion. Another factor is the coarse grain texture of the coffee. Coffee granules can provide a rough texture to the glued surface, thereby increasing the adhesive strength of the glue.
