Barge All-Purpose TF Cement Rubber, leather, Wood, Glass, Metal Glue 59 ml

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

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

Excellent but a bit expensive, made a tight bond for my partner's shoe sole that was coming off

Works really well

Excellent contact adhesive if you follow the instructions. Patches stuck to leather jacket very successfully

Once I had found a way to keep even overall pressure on a highly styled unusual shaped sole, the adhesive did it’s magic overnight

Excellent shoe glue

Purchased this after good reviews. Needed to glue a boot sole on where it lifted at a crease. Followed all instructions but it lifted again on first wear. Also used it to fix a household ornament which then quite easily broke again same place. Not much better than normal superglue and very expensive.

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.

Great Item

I used this to seal a small hole in my inflatable mattress. Very thick viscous consistency and dried surprisingly quickly (1 drop dried completely in hours) and clear (not brittle, pliable). Worked perfectly!

Very useful. Strong adhesive

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