@miksu103 5 лет назад

You should use rtv silicone to glue the led strip. Permatex makes some that are made to bond with rubber. It would bond really well with the shoe, and silicone tube. Silicone is super flexible, so using the shoe will not break the bond.

@JonReevesLA 3 года назад

@ducttapeanddreams 5 лет назад

You must wear these on the next tech-diff. As for your LED strips: use fasteners like snap buttons. You could drive one side of the snap into the rubber, along with some super glue, glue the other side of the snap to the LED strip (don't forget to prep your surfaces), and then you've got some mechanical connection, rather than trying to glue floppy rubber that probably doesn't like glue to floppy rubber that doesn't like glue.

@darkmagician1184 5 лет назад

Matt Gray's One Day Build my suggestion for if you do this in the future, use a foam brush instead of bristled. also, probably mentioned, but you should remove the tape after your final coat while it's all still wet and the lower glue hasn't cured completely, will come up much cleaner.

@maxximumb 5 лет назад

Matt, to stick the LED strip to your shoes I'd suggest using either a glue designed for shoes like Shoe Goo, or a barge (not the boat) glue (aka contact adhesive). The shoe glues are designed to stick to rubber, so should be good for the LED strip too. The barge glue is good because it will stick almost anything to anything. Apply to each surface, wait till it's almost dry, then press the two things together, and that's it, they're stuck together forever (nearly). Downside of barge glues, you have to get it right first time. Once the 2 glued surfaces touch, they stick and it's difficult if not impossible to separate.

@andrineslife 5 лет назад

@ZooD333 5 лет назад

You should have done the glittery-lumpery-rubbery-offery thing at the end before putting the laces in so they didn't look all lumpy whilst in the sun. Loved it anyways :) might try it myself!

@SeanBZA 5 лет назад

To stick the led tape on use Bostic clear, which will stick to the rubber of the shoe, after you clean it with some solvent, and will stick to the tape as well.

@WowCoolHorse 5 лет назад

Oh my gosh all the maker channels you listed in the description are some of my favorite people on RU-vid

@WowCoolHorse 5 лет назад

Also I'm only like halfway through the video but I probably would have done a thick coat of glue and let it get tacky, then make the glitter layers with a thinner mix of modpodge, as in a lil bit of water and glue mixed

@skonkfactory 5 лет назад

To attach silicone-covered LED strip to your shoe, I'd recommend buying some clear silicone RTV and using that to glue it on. You'll want to clean the surface of the shoe sole with acetone before you glue it, and you'll want to use masking tape or similar to hold the strip in place while the RTV cures.

@LeiterDerAnstalt 5 лет назад

To glue the LED strip to the shoe you can try that vulcanizing glue that you get with inner tube patches for bike repair. This stuff will practically weld rubber/silicone.

@CallyGem 5 лет назад

You are a genius, Matt, you've shown me everything not to do, it's going to be great when I do my own.

@positivemelon7578 5 лет назад

@thomasmorris1194 5 лет назад

E6000 glue would probably work to stick the LED strip back on. It stays flexible so it won't crack and split. Just have to get both surfaces real clean, maybe rough sand the back of the LED strip too.

@MaganmashFlutefighter 5 лет назад

Admittedly I'm in the US but you can find around here what is colloquially called "pimp stores" in malls and the like. They sell big padded suits, canes, dress shoes, etc. All in garish but cool styles. My girlfriend got some glittershoes from one of these places which was a miracle because she wears a US Men's 14 and almost no stores carry above a twelve.

JB Weld would work wonders for your LED strips

@dylanpeel6315 5 лет назад

Hey matt, most shoe sole are rubber. If you'd like to attach some Led strips permanently to the shoes, perhaps some rubber cement? Apply a layer to the back of the LED strip, wait for it to dry, then put a layer on the shoe sole. The rubber cement should melt the sole's slightly and weld the strip to the shoe, probably the most durable thing I can think of. Really liked the idea for the LED shoes though!

@apm136 4 года назад

to stick the led tape to the rubber of the shoe,id suggest either a thin layer of silicone sealant, or 151 fantastic elastic glue

@TomDufall 5 лет назад

Maybe try sanding down the rubber edge of the shoes a little before gluing the tape back on. I can't say I've tried it with shoes, but when patching a bike inner tube it's what you do to help the glue stick to the otherwise smooth rubber.

@bob_._. 5 лет назад

I would give rubber cement a try for the LED shoes. It might have the best chance of sticking to the rubber soles. Or maybe a contact cement.

@stefanozenato61 5 лет назад

Wow those are amazin shoes. For te LED shoes I was thinking: instead of glueing them on the side, why not do some inciscion on the edge of the shoes, put the stripe in it, and then cover it with silicon so it should stick and you will not be able to see the individual led but a more diffused and homogeneous spread of color

@p1rgit 5 лет назад

@reddcube 5 лет назад

E6000 glue worked for me on shoes. The glue take a long time to set and remember to rough the surfaces

@ptarmigan1356 5 лет назад

Thank you, I enjoyed how this was not too fast paced. I hadn't considered glitterifying things with glue before, but might give it a try. For the LED strip, is the sticking to the shoe or the silicone the problem? For the shoe side, I have successfully stuck shoe soles back on with rubber glue (eg from Pattex), which stays flexible. I'm not sure if it will stick to silicone though.

@ptarmigan1356 5 лет назад

I think a glue that you can find easily is the one you apply to both sides of what you will stick together, let it dry, and then press together. I think in English it is called contact adhesive (?)
