In the second video of DIY Shoe Repair series, you will learn about the common types of glues for shoe repair: contact cement, and ShoeGoo / E6000. You will also learn why other types of glue, such as super glue, Epoxy glue or epoxy putty may not be suitable for your shoe repair needs. At the end of the video I’ll have a bonus tip for a unique type of material for fixing badly deteriorated or snapped soles.

Have you tried using any PVA glues at all? How do they go for flexibility?

@irefusetopay 4 месяца назад

Not on shoes, but I expect PVA is better for paper and wood. The bond may not be as strong as contact cement.

@voltron-1 9 месяцев назад

I'm using a silicone special adhesive for a flopping bottom shoe repair. I figured it's flexible and forms a strong bond on the things i've used it on so far. It's about the only thing to use when trying to fix silicone products (gaskets typically). Besides, it's the only glue I have on hand! I'm not 100% sure how it will work on fabrics but a quick test on the other shoe I'm doing the repair on seems to be holding -- that is rubber on leather. I'll post back the results :)

@ashokmoghe8035 2 месяца назад

Very well done - I was looking for some answers when repairing my wife's sandals and found valuable information in your video. Thanks. BTW, one more thing about RTV or rubber products such as those designed for roof and gutter repair is that they may not be designed for abrasion like the sole rubber. So in theory they may fill the gaps with rubber but may wear out quickly. Just my $0.02. Oh I will check your 3rd video in this shoe repair series too....

@tobiaslieblein2686 2 месяца назад

Will try to fill up worn heels with hot glue. Hot glue normally comes as different types, harder and softer, but not available everywhere. The standard is harder, but for heels it might work if covered with rubber. Of course it will flow when hot.

@thewisewalrus94 3 месяца назад

Can you mix contact cement and e6000?

@irefusetopay 3 месяца назад

I don't think you can mix them directly but using contact cement to put on a patch with e6000 to reinforce the edges seems fine.

Try E6000. Also I'm testing a new type of glue over a few monthsfor long term strength, looks promising so far. keep an eye on my channel. I will announce my testing results.

@Skinwalkerhunter-e8w Месяц назад

There is something I am not clear about if I use contact cement I have to let it be exposed to the air for 10-15 minutes before attaching both sides of the shoe together. Did I get that right? Other than the question. Wonderful video. Can’t wait to fix these shoes and learn a new skill!

@irefusetopay Месяц назад

Yes that's right. Make sure both surfaces with glue are dry to touch before contacting. Good luck.

Any experience using Barge contact cement? It is expensive in the Philippines!

@irefusetopay 10 месяцев назад

No, is it an American brand? I didnt see it in Australia. The success with contact cement is more about technique than brand, I will make a video to discuss this topic soon. Cheers.

@markdempsey9638 4 месяца назад

I'm in the US and was told by a cobbler to use Barge to glue a replacement sole -- he said it's the best you can buy at the hardware store. This was to glue a Vibram sole to a felt mid-sole, which was sewn to the leather upper. I made the repair myself, at the advice of the cobbler, and was pretty happy with it, although after a year or so the repair began to fail (from the edges moving inward). My guess is that failure had more to do with not applying enough pressure when gluing than it did with the glue itself. Nevertheless, I was able to glue it all back together a few times (maybe 3 more years of wearing) before giving up on the shoes.

Good spot, although i have never managed to break my Shimano cleated cycling shoes, i would think twice about the safety of such repairs before doing it. If you still wish to repair rigid fiberglass, i would use a 2 part epoxy glue as my 1st choice. Good luck.

@fgreen411 8 месяцев назад

@@irefusetopay that really was my question, what your opinion on what adhesive would be best for gluing a leather or synthetic leather uppers to a rigid carbon sole. I just did a pair of Exustar carbon soled mtb shoes, and used contact cement like what I saw others use in videos. If it fails, I'll use epoxy for a second try, after I get some shoe trees to help clamp sole and upper together.

@lithmariel 10 месяцев назад

I keep getting shoes that seem to have shoegoo but they're fabric + rubber or leather + rubber and it just falls right off. Same to cobbler repairs. I'm off to try e6000 because it just doesn't seem like shoegoo sticks very well to non-rubber surfaces whatsoever (even have one shoe where it came right off the more slippery rubber, too). I'm stumped at why we can't just get glue right. Or maybe just sew all shoe sides by default. I will just try to do that.

@irefusetopay 10 месяцев назад

Indeed! Having a premanent bond with ShoeGoo is not guaranteed. Surface preparation, sufficient pressure etc. can make all the difference. Check this out : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9XnEiTGwGCQ.htmlsi=UdaixylMW3X2qmZa On the other hand, if you can sew the sides it'll be a more solid repair. Good luck and let us know how it goes :)

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?

@irefusetopay 4 месяца назад

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.

My rubber sole on my favourite walking shoes wore thru, I used leak seal rubber paint to cover over. But it didn’t stick long enough. I was thinking it may be necessary to activate the soles rubber chemically. Also the layer was so very thin with the paint. Can E6000 mix with such rubber paint?

@irefusetopay 8 месяцев назад

Hi Thomas, I am not aware that E6000 can dissolve rubber, did you give contact cement a try? If you dont wish to use a rubber sheet cut-out patch, perhaps a bicycle tube patch would be more discreet?
