Barge All-Purpose TF Cement Rubber, leather, Wood, Glass, Metal Glue 2 oz

Very useful. Strong adhesive

Not recommend money waste

Easy to use and forms a good bond. Works well to repair the cork of my Birkenstocks.

Great Item

Brilliant glue. Fixed some shoes with it. It's not cheap but you get what you pay for.

I've used Barge Cement in the red & yellow 32 oz. can with the brush inside for years and am familiar with how it works. and it always worked great! But after repairing one or two pair of shoes, I was left with 30 oz in the can which got thick sitting in my workshop for a couple of years due to the solvent evaporating and I would go to use it and of course, it was too thick and "dry". Recently a good part of the sole on one of my Merrell waterproof shoes detached and of course my Barge Cement in a can was so thick it would hardly drip from the include brush (again). So, I was stuck with whether I should buy another 32 oz. can of Barge cement for $35-$40 so I could use 2 oz. or so to repair my shoes. In checking, I found this new formula (no Toluine) in a more reasonable size and for a more reasonable price. I was skeptical at first, particularly due to some of the bad reviews, and partially because of the new formula, but bought it anyway and it worked just as well as the original Barge Cement I was accustomed to using! 1) Clean the area 2) apply the glue thinly to both surfaces 3) let dry for 15-20 minutes 4) press the two surfaces together - if necessary, clamp them 5) let dry/cure overnight and then use them! Worked like a champ and saved myself around $30. Used my newly repaired shoes to walk the dog this morning! In reviewing some of the negative reviews, it seems the majority of them got old cement that's been sitting around a while, and the solvent had partially evaporated.

Good stuff, rescued some boots which parted company with their soles.
