This is GOLD if you want to learn some important things before you tackle a shoe glue repair. Thank you!
Would very much like a step by step video on some project you're working on.
Would most likely become the gold standard for shoe repair tutorials.
If possible comment every step and compare with other possible problems and situations one could encounter in their repair.
Wow. Im genuinely quite dumbfounded here. You covered seemingly everything i could want to know about my project that quite literally all the other 'bigger' youtubers didnt even know about. I was struggling to find a good video to reference a good plan from but now im not.
Wish me luck yall!
Cheers mate, im sure you'll smash it.
This video is way too good. Have watched what feels like every video on shoe rapair ever and you just surpassed them all. Love the channel and the vibe. Keep doing what you're doing. It's extremely helpful and insightful.
Thank you for doing this video. I have three pairs of Birkenstocks, which are very expensive to replace, and I'm in the process of rebuilding them. I've never done this before and needed your information here. Thanks again!
Good luck, don't be afraid to repair again if the 1st attempt doesn't last long.
Thank you for those helpful tips.
Exceptionally well done Sir! I look forward to your next video, thank you.
thank you brother 🙏 subbed
Your accent and cadence is so beautiful
Windscreen adhesive, use a good quality type like 3M 08609 Window Weld or Sikaflex 268 which is used on railway windows. I've used them on motorcycle boots.
Nice tip. Can I buy them in small amounts? Do they come in a sausage which may dry up after opening? Thank you sir.
my problem is, how do I get the top off a tin of OrthaBond? Does anyone know?
That's great info. A little more on the good or bad types of glue would help even more. Does "contact cement" universally describe the chemical in it?
Great idea mate, did you watch this video that answers the 1st question? th-cam.com/video/lgXb2RUAU4I/w-d-xo.html
I heard that to apply 2nd layer of adhesive, I need to reactive it by applying heat to it, and the heat from hair dryer might be sufficient enough. But that also lead to another problem, I think, if we live and walking under scorching sun or hot and humid weather like asia, desert,... where it can get to more than 40 degree celsius or even 50 to 60 degree celsius, it might cause the glue on the shoes to reactivate and un-bonding the outsole of the shoes.
Hi there, yes I have seen cobblers use heat guns to reactivate glues, though it makes me wonder the reason they do so. I would always follow the glue instructions from its manufacturer.
@@irefusetopay So I am working on some shoes now, I just put on one good coat on each surface. So do both surfaces need to completely dry before adding another coat to both surfaces?
@@irefusetopay yes. But though I dont know the temperature threshold of these glues. And the part that scare me the most is one day I walk outdoor, couples km later my shoes completely falling apart. I've had bad shoes, delaminated sole, disintegrated pu sole,... I always wanted to make my own boots/ shoes with decent material, as a hobby.
If you wait for it to be touch dry before pressing the surfaces together doesnt it prevent then glue from both surfaces to "weld" together as a whole?
No it doesnt. To me this is the biggest difference between contact cement and other types of glue. Good luck.
After finally joining the shoe to the sole, how long should you wait before actually wearing? Thanks.
24 hours to be on the safe side. Cheers.
ive seen many shoe repair videos using heat gun after drying the applied contact cement. is this really necessary?
I noticed that too. No reference is found on this, but if the room tempreture is very low, it makes sense for the glue to reach its designed optimal tempreture before contacting.
Can’t find Barge cement in the UK. Any good alternatives please?
Experiment with what you can find in hardware stores, its part of the fun.
Welwood is the competitor to Barge.
