You need to make sure you use one of those Green Scour Pads on the yellowed parts of the sole before attempting to use Sea Glow. That should allow the Sea Glow to penetrate through the rubber better. As for possible results, it all varies.

I've never had that issue with my 5's.
What temperatures are you Sea Glow'ing at?
You might have to reglue that separated part with E-6000. You will have to find a firmer way to clamp it down during the process because electrical tape really won't do much.

Cleaning section at any store.
You need to wet the scour pad with water and use dishsoap with it. Then wash off the soles and dry them with a towel.
