For those of you who's Rand is coming loose, which boot oil, grease, waterproofing are you using. I have read a few articles stating that using ones with animal protein cause the adhesive to loosen. Those threads are on rokslide and a pheasant hunting forum. It reacts with the adhesive and is a known issue.

Good tip

Yea they say don't use Obernauf's grease which is popular for other boots.  I stick to the kenetrek brand grease.

  I used the Kennetrek product and it did great. 

Seemed suspiciously similar (bees wax, etc) to Schnee's product that is Montana Boot wax.  Both worked great, I used the Montana product on my Schnee's Pac Boots when I went to the Yukon for moose.
