    Haven't used contact cement since 2nd grade... I think Carter was President 😅... and I need something affordable for a project. Super Glue ain't so super anymore. THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! I forgot about it has to be dry, was wondering what I was doing wrong.

  • @vivianoni9565
    @vivianoni9565 Год назад +1

    A few mths on, I've used CC on two repairs with mixed results. Post-fixes, I see the glue took well to mated surfaces with the thinnest gaps between them, whereas more gapped areas didn't really take.
    I'd applied stiff pressure by hand for several minutes then rubber-banded the bonds overnight. Fast turnaround for repairs isn't the priority. It'd be useful to know if a heavier coat, or repeat coats, can fill those gaps for a solid bond.

    I didn't want to write back with results too soon. had to put this through the ringer. BOY! you were not kidding about you got 1 shot! LOL Had a mess up and barely got out of it to redo it, this stuff is so sticky your material will tear right up trying to get back apart, I immediately had to change plans. I had my heat gun and 91% isopropyl alcohol very handy when I goofed and got it apart to clean up and retry.
    But yup this is working perfectly on these Tevas, Better the the OEM glue. I noticed after I completely dismantled the shoes of all layers and cleaned off the failed manufacturers glue what the main FAIL is , the straps that hold the soles to your feet go through the top thick layer and continue on under that layer and back out to complete the circle at eh ball of the foot and the ankle.
    so what happens is when the sandal gets wet on the straps the liquid wicks into the center of the sole. so any gaps actually hold standing water inside there, recipe for fail. so what i did was completely saturate the strap top and bottom so that it cant hold water, I also laced the opening with a hard core black rubber gasket maker that is gas and oil resistant. deep in there so it can't be seen. i don't know how long that will work but it's definitely better. and if it comes apart in a few years again and is still salvageable i will just do it again. LOL.
    This stuff has my wheels turning so well , when I had all the pieces laying out and getting them all cleaned up for the rebuild. I was thinking I could probably build shoes from scratch. LOL
    yea though I adopted a different method tan just trying to get them back together perfectly by ey balling and going fast. I put the shoes soles directly where they needed to be with bamboo skewers ( like for shish kaBobs ) so they can't fall together until im ready. LOL this is a Must. mostly because I used a heat gun to get the rubber apart in places and it deforms a little bit so it has to be pressed in to get back where it all needs to be. might be less that way if you just use a hair dryer. LOL
    I have some other experiments to try this stuff on. I have some pretty spendy Subwoofers I got that were in a accident, car audio, the rubber surrounds were cut, I wonder if I could cut a ring and repeat this process under the cuts with as minimal added weight as possible. I mean, this stuff REALLY STICKS WELL, it's the closest thing I have found to a welded bond from rubber to rubber and rubber to foam. I don't know how it would do on inflatables, I want to see how that works out as well. it doesn't say its waterproof. i got two 3oz bottles of this stuff weldwood - I have size 17 shoes and I did both of them, the complete soles with only 3/4 of one bottle. so it goes pretty far also. great value considerin the cost of my shoes LOL.
    Thanks a billion for your awesome Video. I am sure this will come up in my life many times, i'm all the time fixing and building. im thinking this stuff will be great for auto interior and audio builds. :0)

    I have a mask and it is made out of latex for Halloween . It has extremely shiny finish on the inside and I'm trying to glue some foam inside of the Mask but because of the shiny finish and it also seems to be a little oily feeling. Whatever I glue to it won't stick. I thought about using a little acetone to it. But I haven't done it yet. What do you think i should do to the inside of the latex mask.
    Thank you so much ! You're a very talented man and I love all your videos !

    • @StiltbeastStudios

      I think your mask is actually vinyl. few things stick well to vinyl, but spray paint will make the vinyl sticky and never really dry.
      do clean it with acetone and try to glue with e600 or with contact cement.
      if that fails then spray somr spray paint on a surface and paint the area you would want glue and allow the stick paint to hold the foam in
      place

    I was actually looking for shoe repair ( My Tevas ) and I saw a lot of people have videos but I already bought some glue and none of the shoe vids has weldwood contact cement, which is what I have here. Interesting that the material you have there looks like this shoe. LOL I know some people would just toss them out but I have size 17 feet and shoes are REALLY hard for me to find and sandals even more so.
    do you think this exact glue that you are using will work? I pulled the entire tread part of the sole loose with a heat gun, it was half way off already and I scrubbed the crap out of both sides and I am letting it dry. I planned to do the other one as well since it has come loos also, not half way yet but might as well do both now. I planned to wet them down with 91% isopropyl alcohol and let it evaporate so its very dry and then apply the contact cement to the rubber sole and the foam rubber inner layer. I really hate to do it and then have it come apart again though because I will have to scrub all that mess off. The OEM stuff they used is not even present, I can't see and bonding material really. these damned sandals are 90.00 and shipping if I can even find them though and I wear them all the time.
    If you don't answer It's ok. I will probably try this anyway, if you do that would be helpful either way though. I am going to bed. LOL pretty sure my 300 pound self will be enough pressure LOL- I could stand on them for a few min and then let them dry fully over night tomorrow.
