    E6000, Shoe Goo and Amazing Goop are all variations of the same glue made by the same company. They also make E6100 which just thicker less runny version of 6000. (6100 is hard to find.) Shoe Goo has been around since the early 70's.

      Interesting to know. I'll have to look around as there may be factory test data between the 3. For now, Shoe Goo is the one I am planning on using for a shoe repair. Thanks!

    you keep putting the weights closer to the white bar above the eye of the screw on the first one which will help it to be stronger because the closer in the weight is the shorter the lever. The further out the weight is placed the more downward force is created on the glue. I know its only a small distance but if you're trying to do a test all conditions have to be the same for accuracy.

    Thanks! This is one of the BEST 'test' videos I've seen on YT for glues. Taking the time to change weights, and hours of drying is something not done by others. I can now see which glue I may choose to repair the pads that have some off the bottom of running shoes. The factory didn't do a good job because in one run, they all fell off one shoe! (Asics GT-2000) Managed to retrace the run and find every one of them! Your tests helped me decide which adhesive to use. Thank you for taking the time to set up these tests. NICE RC vehicles too!

    Thanks for taking the time to do a test like this. Really cool to see the comparison. I’ve been using shoe goo and e6000. Didn’t really know what was better. I have done one lexan body with the drywall tape and e6000. So far I’m happy. But it’s great to know the shoe goo will be just as good for that method. Thanks again. Great video!

    I have a pair of Muck Boots that caught on a hook and tore a hole in in the rubber side by the right ankle. They were 2 years old at the time.
    I purchased a 2 oz tube of E6000 rubber adhesive and repaired the wound inside an out. Thin layers inside, thick patch on the outside hole. That was 3 years ago. No leaks, and the outside patch is even hard to see now. Great Glue E6000. I still have the remainder of the E6000, and it is still pliable and good. Use some last week. Good stuff !!!

  • @genmasaotome3503

    Great test. One criticism with the test... the eye hook set up pulls it downward... but also puts a twist... slight difference of the orientation of the eye hooks may give more twist over the others.

  • @drog343

    I prefer the Shoo Goo myself, but have used the E6000 as well and find that it is a little easier to work with (the SG seems to thicken up quicker so you have to work faster), I also really like the various JB welds, the plastic and clear welds in particular for this hobby.

    I may be wrong here, but I think Shoo-Goo was the original stuff, being available in the late 80's, early 90's. I was told that that was what they use to bond the soles to running shoes. I've used it at work to mount steel on steel fixtures (they will never come apart even when you want to) and have even repaired several snowmobile tracks where I have torn out a stud and it worked remarkably well for that.

    It just so happened that I was trying to decide whether to buy Gorilla Glue, E6000 or Goop when I found your video. Good job! I do have one comment. I noticed that at 38 ounces for 12 hours you hung the weight around the base of the screw eye instead of the middle of the eye on the Amazing Goop. This would have decreased the leverage of the weight. I don’t think it affected the overall results enough to worry about. I appreciate you doing this testing and based on your results and my needs I think I will buy E6000.

    BTW, the solvent for E6000 is dry cleaning fluid aka perchloroethylen/tetrachloroethylene. By adding this to E6000 you can make an excellent low viscosity version of the glue. I used it to seal joints in sea fishing traces, and it is untouched by saltwater immersion.

    Shoe goo is the best I’ve found. When dried it’s surprisingly tough so you can use it in a structural manner and not solely rely on adhesion as well (for instance add a dovetail like socket to your pieces with a saw to fill). Really neat stuff.

  • @pleskbruce
    @pleskbruce 25 วันที่ผ่านมา

    There are so many variables that one would never know whether this was fair and consistent - the surfaces of each side, the amount of glue, temperatures, etc., especially with so many trials - but overall, a lot of the variables are probably randomized and we did see enough consistencies in the winners that I am reasonably comfortable with the results. I think he did as good a job as anyone could outside of a lab. It was really interesting to see how the 2nd 12 hours made such a difference! It seems like whenever I use glue, it's on an item I want to use right away so there's a strong temptation to do so too early (we've seen companies cater to this impatience by making glues with faster and faster dry times over the last 50 years) - now we know that allowing the full dry time is indeed wise and worthwhile!
    I must say I have used Shoe Goo and E6000 for years and been VERY happy. For some reason I've worn a hole in the same spot in the sole of the left shoe of every pair of shoes I've bought within six months to a year of purchase. I'm unwilling to toss shoes that new so I've used glue to fill the holes. I've picked Shoe Goo and E6000 because I needed something that would not only be strong but also flexible and able to handle moisture. Both do a superb job and it's surprising how long these glue repairs last, it's as if the glue is more wear-resistant than the original soles! I have shoes that I could have discarded years ago that look almost new even today except for that one patch of glue on the bottom of the left shoe that no one sees. :)

    Both E-6000 and Shoe Goo are made by Eclectic Products a USA company. Shoe Goo is best for repairing flexible items, such as shoes, rubber, vinyl, and leather products. The E6000 is best for hard surfaces like glass, metal , leather , rubber, vinyl ,and wood.
    I use E-6000 the best I have ever used and I have tried alot of different adhesives over the years. It's super strong with little flex. I have used E-6000 on different materials, stainless steel, glass, brick etc. and this stuff worked great and still holds today. Once repaired they stay repaired.
    If you need a strong adhesive for more flexible applications like shoes then use Shoe Goo. Try them both.
    Thanks for this great video

  • @MrDrago1954
    @MrDrago1954 3 ปีที่แล้ว +89

    Shoe goo has a Harder consistency when fully cured. Yes, still kind of rubbery but harder. E6000 is the way to go if you want something more flexible. E6000 can stretch 600 to 700 percent of its original shape and return back to the original. Take your pick. Both are probably overkill in performance when used in most common instances.

    With solvent based glues it's very important to let the solvent evaporate slightly as per the instructions before pressing it together. Otherwise it never dries in the middle as it never has a chance to evaporate and activate the glue.

Not only do I applaud you for doing this, I am grateful as this was certainly not an "all for nothing" production. Anyone who watches this through will have undoubtedly benefited from your awesome contribution to mankind. With that being said overlooking small details of this sort, will flaw and or skew the results massively. Extreme care needs to be taken in every detail, from evenly preparing each surface, direction the loop is in, the way you let go, to how long you leave the weight on. If we catch small oversights we are likely (and fair) to assume there are others we're not getting footage of. Just some constructive feedback. Again thank you for doing this.

I especially like the E6000 because I found it to be the best glue I have ever used on so many things. Just recently I found out it work perfect to glue the bottoms of shoes and cleats back to the boot part of the shoe. Excellent permanent Bond and since when it cures it is kind of elastic and flexible, it feels very natural under the foot having bonded the bottoms back together. And I have used E6000 for so many other things. Definitely worth the money:-)

    Very useful information from this methodical test. I now use these types of glues about half the time, they really are great. Though Super Glue and wood glues each have cases where they are the better choices. I used to use epoxies quite a lot but that is where these flexible glues have supplanted most of the time. Epoxies are stronger in theory but in practice they often crack and fail and they don't adhere as well to so many surfaces. The flex makes these much tougher and far less likely to fail on impacts. I first used Shoe Goo on tennis shoe toes in the early '80s (I was constantly wearing through the toes.) But it's quite thick and viscous. I still use it for gluing the soles of hiking boots and water sandals when they start to separate, but I usually let it dry for at least four days in that case. For the last few decades I've been using mostly Goop because it's a bit thicker than E6000, doesn't sag nearly as much when laid on thickly, but not as thick as Shoe Goo. I thought it cured a bit faster. This test makes me change my mind a bit. One thing is that Goop is available in UV resistant "Marine Grade" and I usually buy that when I find it because it really does hold up better outdoors. I see that E6000 also has a UV stable version but I've never seen that in stores. I also recently got some E6000 2 oz tube with the longer thinner spout, it's really much better and prevents the goo buildup around the cap threads you always get on the 3.7oz tubes with the large opening. Also the 2 oz might be better as the larger tubes last maybe a little too long, tend to get thick and dry towards the end of the tube. At that point they don't seem to "wet out" onto the surface of the object as well but rather just seem to sit on top and not adhere well. I see that E6000 is also available as high-viscosity (thicker) but again, never seen it in stores. I think the Eclectic glues are all basically the same product but with differing amounts of thinner added to change the viscosity. And then some UV resistant additive for those versions. If you open a tube of E6000, in a couple of months the solvent will evaporate and it will basically turn into Goop, and then Shoe Goo. Similarly if you add a bit of dry cleaning fluid, you can thin these out.

Because it strech i do not feel i fixed it. Just don't try to do it on an air chamber that is significantly smaller than the tire you are putting it in. Less strech = the better.

      I second that notion. Hell, I consider their og-flagship product/glue to be essentially a one-trick pony since it only does *one*thing better than the top tier competitors available: making a strong bond when there's a substantial gap to fill due to poor fit-up. Otherwise GGlue's contemporaries run circles around GGlue in numerous easily demonstrable ways....However, working with it is such an inevitably maddening PITA by being 100% precluded from finishing up thinking that you did "tidy work" (for me, at least), so that prevents me from ever even considering using the crap for even where it could conceivably be the objective best choice. I'd muuuuch rather do some convoluted multi-product approach that i make up on the spot that doesnt weld rock-hard giant snot bubbles onto LITERALLY EVERYTHING within the line of sight of an open bottle's dispenser, UGH

    • @Romans--bo7br

      Ed LeDoux..... They're Both manufactured by the same company, but they are NOT made with the same formulation. You can certainly use them both for shoe repairs, but of the two... the E6000 is much more suitable for everyday, outdoor heavy duty use, like for work boots. The E6000 when fully cured (24 - 48 hrs, depending on temp. & humidity levels), has a tensile strength of 3200 psi, nearly double that of their Shoe Goo adhesive, and is also UV proof and highly abrasion resistant as well. While the E6000 is flexible when Fully cured, it has a Duro rating (hardness) equal to 80 in rubber form, which is quite stiff, compared to the Shoe Goo.
      The E6000 is formulated Primarily with High-Grade Polyurethane and is therefore NOT water-soluble, so it can be used in wet conditions and other harsh environments. Shoe Goo is comprised Primarily of Styrene-butadiene, Toluene, and Naphtha (solvent), and is also water-proof, and has an approximate hardness of Duro 40.... so is quite flexible And, bendable.. making it a bit more suitable for light duty, casual type "softer" shoes and "sneakers", etc.

    Here in 2022. I question the method of reusing the same location on the horizontal bar, re-gluing in those same spots when there is already glue residue from the previous tests. But overall, it's still a good test. I have ShooGoo, & Gorilla Glue (white translucent version). A few years ago, I bought Gorilla because of the television commercials. So when I used it to rebond a metal stick inside its hole on a wooden handle (for a handheld kitchen sieve/strainer), I thought it would hold, but eventually it broke out again a year later. I noticed the cured Gorilla residue inside the hole & around the stick was spongey. Anyway, some time later, I repaired the strainer again, but this time with JB Weld. And this is JB Weld that was probably 30 years ago. Both JB paste tubes still had good glue in them, they did not seem to set/cure inside their tubes over the decades. I used that for the strainer & since then, a year ago, that strainer is still good & strong. To be fair, I did drill the hole about an inch deeper. It might have shortened the strainer length a bit, but I think putting it an inch deeper helped add more JB glue inside. In summary, I think Gorilla works, but to only a smaller degree & that commercials & hype is why it seems to be selling, despite it's relative inferiority against other adhesives, as both witnessed in the video & in my experience given. I have used Gorilla on other repairs, but in those repairs, the pieces are not on moving parts, so the Gorilla holds ok. I have used ShooGoo to re-glue bottoms of soles on some sneakers & that seems to be holding up & that was done years ago, probably 2016, 2017 or so.
