Barge All Purpose Cement Rubber Leather Shoes Waterproof Glue 1 Qt O.946 L

I love this stuff. This is my second purchase of this glue and I always recommend it in my crafting social media groups. I use it for everything. As a crafter, this stuff is by far the best glue I have ever used. Patience is needed to get the best hold and you defiantly need to be in a ventilated area. I have used it on foam, wood, plastic, ceramic, etc. It is amazing. It seems a little pricy, but it will last for months, as a little goes a long way.

I use barge cement for Leather work. It is awesome and figuratively speaking it welds the Leather together. If you want something to never come apart again, this is it. My only complaint was the company that supplied it shipped it with the lid not tightly screwed down. Thank goodness, they put it inside a plastic bag, and thank goodness it only leaked a bit. It was a bit of a chore to clean up the can,

Barge shoe contact cement is a very professional product. I have been using different contact cements over the years and Barge has proven to be something that I continually use over and over. This quart sized can of Barge is the best price per ounce that I can get on Amazon. If the soles of a pair of shoes begins to separate, this is the way to get it repaired properly. Be sure to follow the directions completely. Make sure each surface is perfectly clean before applying the glue. Sometimes I'll use acetone or lacquer thinner on the old glue surface, applying it with a 1-in chip brush to reactivate the old glue and get it soft enough to apply new glue to. This process will allow it to obtain a solid bond between the surfaces that you are regluing. You can bond the two surfaces together but only after it's completely dry. I would probably wait a half an hour to an hour before contacting the two surfaces together with high pressure. You can use a hammer to contact it down properly or you can use a clamp to clamp them together over the length of the repair. If done properly the repair will last as long as the shoes.

Sticks new boot soles to boots. Works very well. Would buy again.

I’ve been using Barge All-Purpose Cement for my leathercraft projects, and it has become an essential part of my toolkit. Whether I’m working on moccasins, belts, or notebook covers, this glue consistently delivers outstanding results. Things to Keep in Mind: Ventilation is Key: The fumes are quite strong, so always use it in a well-ventilated area or wear a mask for safety. Drying Time: While it sets quickly, allowing it to cure fully (24 hours) ensures maximum strength.
