​Glue-on tabs
Wolf Busch
"powered by Duplo"
When it comes to glued hoof protection, it is important that the glued connection is stable so that you won't lose the horseshoe. Nevertheless - in order to minimize the risk of injuries for the horse - this connection should still be flexible enough so that it will break in case of emergency. Therefore, the Glue-on Tabs Wolf Busch are available in different sizes.
​
Due to their success, they are part of our
regular range since January 1, 2020.

A Glue-On System for
Alternative Hoof Protection
The glue-on tabs RB-Carbon "powered by Duplo" were conceived by Wolfgang Busch and Christian Roncassaglia.
​
The requirements for the new system were that the final product should be easy to apply and of long durability. Both targets have been reached.
​
​
​
They have started quite a glue-on boom with our customers! However, the separation of the developing team has forced us to rename the glue-on tabs.
They will from now on be available as Glue-On Tabs Wolf Busch in our online shop. But don't worry: Apart from the name, nothing will change! The material used, the complete production and therefore the quality stay the same.
​
In the following video, Shelly Frank explains how to apply the glue-on system and what you have to consider while doing this.
​
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Useful material for the application:
-
Degreaser (Isopropanol 99%, no Acetone) in order to degrease the glue-on tabs and the hoof - for this purpose we like to recommend Multifoam
-
Sand Paper (80 – 120 grain size) in order to roughen the glued surface on the hoof
-
Cotton Cloth or kitchen roll in order to wipe away the degreaser from the hoof and the inner side of the glue-on tabs
-
Cyanoacrylate Adhesive – available in our shop!
-
Hot-Air Gun with adjustable airflow and temperature (300-600 °C / 572 – 1112 °F) and a fitting reduction nozzle of 9 mm - available in our shop!
-
Angle Grinder or Belt Sander – in order to bevel the lateral welded seams and in order to adjust the horseshoe
-
Board with a Notch to securely fixate the glue-on tab while welding it to the horseshoe
-
Paper to sketch the outline of the hoof
-
Permanent Marker
-
Protective Gloves – above all when you are working with the horseshoe
-
Single-Use Gloves (e.g. nitrile or vinyl) - when you are working with the degreaser or the adhesive
