These videos are awesome!!! So informative- the best I’ve seen so far. The free content is amazing I’m definitely going to invest in some courses. I have an art/skateboarding background and it’s my goal to get in at Vans. Thanks for the content!
What adhesive(s) are used to bond the foxing to the sole? I have a Vans shoe whose foxing is detaching from the bottom of the sole, which seems to be a result of poor manufacture. I also have an autoclave, and I'd like to replicate the original bond, but I'm not sure which substance is applied between the foxing and sole before it goes into the autoclave.
Hey, the foxing is bonded with PU Contact cement. There are many reasons why a bond can fail. Can you replicate the original bond? Not really. The rubber is now fully cured so it just wont bond the same. For best results clean and dry the parts, apply cement then let dry. Now press together.
what an incoherent, jumpy video. I wish you would sit down, and describe the construction of a single example start to finish in a cohesive manner before moving on to the next example to compare. Instead, you have like 20 different shoes and images that you keep cycling through in a scatterbrained manner, and interjecting with with a slew of unrelated comments that don't follow from each other. absolute headache to watch.

Awesome! Thank you!
Is it possible to build a VSC shoe without an oven?
Not really. To fuse the parts the entire shoe needs to be heated. You can just bond fully cured parts….but it’s not the same strength.
@@walidkamaleldinmotawi1196 Thanks. Could it be done with a household electric oven without burning the shoe up, lol???

Early days more videos to come. Quality improving. I've got a nice factory tour video in process. Cheers!
