This channel is for anyone who make a conscious decision to refuse modern consumerism. We think independently and take a hands-on approach to maintain, repair and make things ourselves, so we take control of our money and achieve financial freedom.
A for effort but as someone who's been homeroasting with DIY gear for more than a decade you need to 1) get a semi-enclosed system so the heating is more effective - you're taking too long to roast, should take ~15-20mins total, 2) build a cooling rig (old bucket, colander & extraction fan are mine) cools in a few mins. Also get some one way vent bags for storing, 1-2 weeks is too long to wait to consume - a few days is fine but up to you. Good videos regardless.
@@irefusetopay Try tracking down an old breadmaker, you can place the beans in it's baking bowl & it will stir whilst you use your heatgun (I have that Ozito as well!). Chaff will still come off - you can usually remove the lid or place hole in it - often overall project is known as a coretto. You have great videos, I applaud your improvisational & problem solving approach. We need more thinkers and less blind followers so well done.
I bought retread for 10 bucks and attached to my show with E6000 and then sewed the edge of rhe shoe to keep the edge of the tread nice and tight. I was going to E6000 the edge of the shoe but got lazy. Wearing my repaired shoes now.
Hi, where can I buy the Engine Cover Insulation Replacement for a 2012 MAZDA 3 Sedan 4 Door? Thank you very much for your kind attention to this respectful inquiry and I look forward to your response. Sincerely, M.H.De Z.
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!
I have a very hard time to focus when people talk but this was so easy to follow and straight to the point. You are incredibly charming and I can imagine you would be every students favourite teacher
The brake system is open to moisture at the fluid reservoir. Contrary to popular belief it is not sealed air tight. If it was it would be a vacuum in the reservoir as the brake pads wore down and the pistons in your brake calipers protruded further. So as the the fluid level drops in your reservoir as the pads wear. That means more air and so moisture gets in. That's on top of all the driving in rain etc. So regardless of mileage your fluid does simply age. Just as it does in a bottle of fluid left on the shelf after opening and despite screwing the cap on tightly. A cheap brake vacuum is a syringe, which you can buy at a chemist. That and some 5mm clear vinyl hose.
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.
sorry I didn't try the other glue, but E6000 is quite good with rubber and fabric. Why don't you let the viewers know if you found a better product.cheers
What's the heating for some youtuber apply and what if you don't have heatgun, why dont just stick them after the 5 minutes dry period? Is PU adhesive different instructions compare to a common rubber based contact cement where they just tell you to contact them after 5 minutes?
Following manufacturers recommendations is the best approach I would suggest. PU glue is completely different, its the ultimate glue to use with the right activators.
@@irefusetopay hi, thanks for reply, yeah but the instruction by the manufacturer isn't clear themselves, they didn't say wait for how long and I contacted their customer service and they say it's the same as rubber contact cement,vis that true because what I found is rubber contact cement doesn't needs heatgun and just wait and stick, PU glue it seem like need heatgun? But I don't have heatgun, what to do?
Use a hair dryer. As a starting point, heat it to 50 to 60 degrees Celsius. For PU glues, I queried a seller and was told to heat to 60 degrees. Good luck.
@@irefusetopay i see, but is heating neccessary at all and not just glue it like rubber based contact cement where you just stick them together after wait for 5 minutes for the solvent to evaporate?
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.
New subscriber from Canada..enjoying your content as a home DIY person myself. I confess to having switched to Goodyear welt shoes after a bad experience with Bluntstone boots ( 2 pairs where the soles literally disintegrated) . Having seen some of your shoe repair videos I'm sorry now that I chucked them out as the uppers were in great shape and would have made a fun project. Cheers from Nova Scotia .
I have been (trying) to repair vintage shoes. Since the quality back then was 1000% better, most are in good shape, thankfully. One thing is the inside liner. I have yet to figure out how to replace/make a new one. Not sure what to use. Any ideas? Thank you!
@@irefusetopay Oh you don't want to learn from me, I have no idea what I am doing!😆 I just wing it, so to speak. The quality of the old shoes is so much better than the expensive shoes today. I can't imagine anything made these days lasting 70-80 years! I also *refuse to pay* for todays bad quality clothing (and everything else.) Its sad that we live in a throw away society. Thanks for your videos!
Thank you so much for educating us I am making my leather soccer indoor shoe, I have question what should be applied on the lining of the sole where it touches upper material Normally professional companies use 2 glues, 1st for sole and second for sealing the touch area Which is that second glue ? Please help
Great video, thanks. A question - if you have to glue the whole sole to the leather shoe that is greasy from leather maintaining grease (for heavy duty working shoes) - how do you degrease leather so that glue wil hold?
The problem is, there are so many types that say "leather filler", and they aren't all the same, so its hard to figure which is best,especially since they aren't exactly cheap. I live in an expensive country😬, and there are no cobblers anywhere near.
I woukd think my city is also relatively expensive, like yours. Where possible, i would prefer buying good quality material online and save labour cost. Cheers.
@@irefusetopay Expensive COUNTRY! 23%tax😲But what i meant was with so many different types of filler, how do you know which is the best if there is no cobbler to ask?
Wish all videos were this clear and concise. I think the only thing you're missing is a final summary at the end with the glues you talked about on a single slide/image. Hope to find your videos when I need help with other things.
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.
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.
