The glue video doesn't only help people about shoes, it also helps people over other things. I've looking for a kind of strong, flexible glue for repairing sanding belts, and I think the Barge is the kind for it -- apply it, and leave it for 30 minutes before putting two surfaces together. Thanks.
I’ve used many of those products, so far I’ve stuck with Barge, but when I see video of sneaker companies/factories when crafting Cool Grey XI’s and other Jordan’s, they’re using a glue that’s milkier and easier to smooth out on the midsole with what looks like a toothbrush, I can’t wait to find that Product. Thanks for sharing the information
Good video. I agree with you that one of the best glues for soles is Barge contact cement. A good second is Master contact cement. Many cobblers out here in So Cal use these two. A third best is Weldwood contact cement. The problem with Barge and Master is that it's hard to get and it's expensive even for the small 8oz jars (I paid $3 for a 3oz jar of Weldwood at Walmart). I just used Weldwood to do some boot repair on my White's boots soles that were squeaky. I've found that Weldwood works best when you join the pieces together when they are still tacky and not let them dry as much as you would with Barge or Master. I've had good results with Weldwood with no separation.
@@Waddlejpg Cover both sides to be glued and let sit until tacky to the touch. Carefully line up the two pieces to be bonded because you may only get one shot at it as contact cement bonds quickly and is hard to separate. Once you bond the two pieces together take a hammer and smack the two pieces together (This gets rid of any air pockets). If your gluing soles on boots or shoes take a pair of pliers and work around the sole and midsole squeezing them together. This will ensure the edges are glued. If you have small clamps (like Harbor Freight type) clamp the edges and let it sit over night. That's about it. Good luck.
I usually use barges super stick. The issue I'm thinking I finally found a solution to is super stick as well as just about every other rubber cement or glue used for shoes dries clear. I am in the buisness of restorations usually of older retro Jordans. Alot of Jordans have clear soles and after doing the reglues it's noticeable that the pair has been restored or had the work done because the finish doesn't look factory. I found this stuff called so strong that can be used to add color to urethane rubber which is basically what barges is.
You should include tips about longevity and what to do when your glue becomes too thick over time. Remember, most of us are rookies. 🤙🏼 awesome videos. On the cutting leather out for the AJ3’s, where did you get your pattern? Or did you make it?
You can thin contact cement with either the name brand of thinner that goes with the name brand of glue (do not mix brands) OR use straight up acetone for universal thinner. My issue is how much to buy and thinking about thinner helps longevity and influences how much to buy decisions. But, how much glue does one pair of soles require? Or, how many projects can you do with one quart can?
I am so glad I came across the is video! I am a jfashion/diy enthusiast and have been taking a basic shoe cleaning to the next level from minor repairs to customizations. I got shoe goo and gorilla glue, but I definitely want to play with the cement instead❤:)
Thank you brother. My wife had another Harley shoe come apart from the leather to sole,not good when you are in the middle of a store. Ill try the Barge, i may have to order it. Thank you for the great info. God bless.
I’m confused I’ve read that the Burj all purpose cement which I have cannot be used to glue the midsole to the upper etc. it doesn’t work for polyurethane. You’re saying it does. You also didn’t say that you need to reheat the glue or activate it after the 30 minute period do you have to activate it before sticking the things together? What happens if you wait more than 24 hours
Great video, on Barge you mentioned the tube buying at a local retail store, is there a difference between the tube and the canister using on Jordan’s patching up the “rails” on the soles?
I use ANGELUS SHOE CEMENT OR MASTER PETRONIO ALL PURPOSE CEMENT. THE MASTER IS GOOD,YOU JUST HAVE TO KNOW WHAT YOURE DOING. IVE LEARNED TO TAKE MY TIME,TAKE SHOE RESTORATION SERIOUS,DONT GET FRUSTRATED AND BE SAFE. IM GOING TO STAY WITH MASYER CEMENT BUT I HAVE TO TRY THE BARGE ALL PURPOSE FOR SURE.
Wow I've been haveing this problem with Jordan s thank you for this video my hole bottom gave out when I was visiting my kid at the hospital that was dunny as fuck I had to remove the hole bottom and walk out like noting happen lmao
Hi i have 2 pairs of Jordans ultra fly 2 i wanna do a sole swap but I'm not sure how to go about it with out damaging the fabric on the better pair please help me and let me know how i can go about separating the soles and get the back to perfection
I need to make a 1" build up on one shoe with EVA foam. I was told to use a glue primer 1st so the glue will bond onto the eva foam. I have not been able to find a glue primer. Does anyone know? I dont want to just glue it without priming it first. Thank you
Weldwood is far cheaper. I have soles that have completely come apart would Weldwood work for that? Didn't really say too much about it and $40 for glue was more than I paid for the shoes 😂
I wonder how her videos would be like regarding previous technological milestones, for example: - when humanity started cooking food instead of just eating it raw uncooked. Would she have mocked that people could burn their fingers or their entire cave in the event of an accident?
I called Keen after one of my old pair of Targhee's lost it's sole. They recommended Barge stating it was more flexible when dry then other cements. The sole repair came out great. But how do you keep the can from drying out? I came back a month later and the entire can was lost. $35 for a single shoe repair.
@@OWK000 I think the biggest problem is the top design doesn't reseal after use. It's the same problem/same design as PVC glue. Am I supposed to keep adding Acetone or thinner on a periodic basis?
@@timdavis6088 hmm. Try putting teflon tape on the thread of the can? The really thick grey kind for gas pipe might be nice. Put the can in a plastic bag and put it in the refrigerator? The acetone itself tends to evaporate, and you don't want to add more than you have to. Thanks for the heads up about the drying problem its helping me plan my projects and think about evaporation issues. I've got a can of laquer thinner I use for fuel treatment that I am going to try using teflon tape on right now.
@@timdavis6088 I don't think you can have a quart of Barge w/o thinner even if you use teflon tape on the lid screw and store properly. It also turns out MEK substitute is mostly acetone and acetone doesn't work on Barge cement so I it sounds like the Barge proprietary thinner which is either real MEK or Tolouene w/Heptane is the way to go.
Hi, do you repair shoes for people? I have a pair of Jordan 10 red steel that are a 2005 shoe. They are in great condition but the glue that holds the midsoles has become weak and there are places coming apart. It's not the sole itself just parts of the foam midsoles. I bought some angles clear glue and it's on the way. I have fixed shoes myself in the past but I don't have the patience and I want them fixed so I can wear them. There's a good possibility that I will screw them up. Like I said it's not bad, only places. Not sure if the whole midsoles should be removed and reglued or not. But if you do fix shoes how do I send them to you? And how much do you charge. I understand if you don't but I just thought I would ask someone with more experience than myself. Thank you
hey bro if i use weldwood do i do the same proccess ? wait till they dry before glueing together both sides ? also will weldwood cause any problems after wearing ? dont want the soles falling off. id be glueing some cherry 12’s
What about superglue ? In my area I only have gorilla super glue which is clear and i have weldwood contact cement Which would u recommend for the jordan 12 flu game

Gorilla glue is totally and completely WORTHLESS....!!

nice! my parent s are getting me some jordans today!!! 😊😊
That’s awesome to hear!
Thanks for this video, you’ve helped me and probably blessed my separated for years space jams 2009
What about Shoe Goo Repair Adhesive?
Liked the video, especially the Barge part (because I haven't used it yet).
Btw, your pronunciation of "Renia" is spot on.
Greetings from Germany 🤙🏻
Yes
💪
Have u ever tried J-B Weld Plastic Bonder two part epoxy? Works well for me.

which one you think can resist the forces of playing football the best to fix sole split on football boots?
Pliobond is another good contact cement that can be found at hardware stores.
It’s like you read my mind !
Haha I got you!
Hi. What glue would you recommend for resole of shoes that are used for playing basketball? Thanks!
Wow I've been haveing this problem with Jordan s thank you for this video my hole bottom gave out when I was visiting my kid at the hospital that was dunny as fuck I had to remove the hole bottom and walk out like noting happen lmao
Do You show how to make boots on Your Tutorials? or just sneakers? I am interested on how to make boots. thanks.
Hi,Do you still use Renia glue, because the barge infinity glue is clear too?
I like Renia because it's not so toxic. I want to know how it will hold up because I'm going to make skateshoes.
I wonder if I should use Barge on clear soles?

Does it matter what kind of barge? I know there’s different types of them
How long has do they/the shoes last after gluing? Anyone please?
I bought some from Amazon and the glue leaked all over the package. Amazon has a weird policy about glues--they don't refund.
Always open up the chat and complain. They will refund
Bro do you stil use rehagol (renia's primer) when bonding a jordan 1? Nice video!
I use Renias and Barge
What would you suggest to use for reattaching Nike Shox soles?
Can I use they type of glue for my Jordan 14 2005 model
Have you tried Greco adhesive?
I really want to know where to get this types of glues where can I get them please tips please
Do you always heat the barge before bonding? Or just let it get tacky then bond it? If so, will it be as strong as if you heat it?
Heat it up
Will this hold up for play? My back outsole on my Jordan 28's came like 80% unglued and I would like to still play in them if possible.
Do you make custom shoes for people
remember me when you are famous
Thanks for supporting me Will! I definitely will

Just saw somewhere that Acetone DOES NOT work with Barge cement! One guy is recommending MEK substitute. More than one brand around.

Ok!
Its so expensive though
hey bro if i use weldwood do i do the same proccess ? wait till they dry before glueing together both sides ? also will weldwood cause any problems after wearing ? dont want the soles falling off. id be glueing some cherry 12’s
How did it go?
FYI Barge makes a clear version...
Hey bro, where i buy soccer soles
What about superglue ? In my area I only have gorilla super glue which is clear and i have weldwood contact cement
Which would u recommend for the jordan 12 flu game
Definitely don't use superglue, those shits harden up like a plastic. And they don't stretch at all
I hot glues a shoe together once Next try is Heavy Duty Liquod Nails
Have you tried liquid Nail to glue back soles?
Are any of them tinted, though? What if my soles are icy?
He said Renia for the icy soles
good video
Hey bonehead,
Can you pleel the dry glue from the top of the glue can please.
A little old fashioned maybe but i wouldn't say tacky..😂
Never use Weldwood on a damn tennis shoe ever! it's a recipe for disaster trust me.
why?
Your intro is long just get to the point nextime
got a haircut ?
No haha!
BOOT-FIX, Shoe goo, E6000, Barge, Renia😮😮😮 . My pick😇😅😅🤔🫡🫡🫡
