Question from judy
I’m having orthotics made at a new place. I know that some of the coverings and adhesives used with cork orthotics are very toxic and others have been fine for me with some outgassing.
What types do you suggest to get fabric coverings to adhere?
Debra’s Answer
I don’t have any experience at all with making orthotics.
Readers, any suggestions for this?
It’s been some time since I’ve had my orthodics made. I’d check with the makers and or doctors and get a list of the choices first and go from there.
My last orthodics are made of a hard plastic and covered with a type of leather on top. Both the leather and the hard plastic aren’t a problem for me. The glue didn’t bother me either. Although, with the covering I have………and if I couldn’t tolerate the glues? I’d use a glue suggested here on this website. If you get the base and the coverings separate, you will be able to air out them both separately and more quickly, depending on the composition of each.
