layton Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 Besides seam grip which is obviously the shit, what's your favorite repair type glue? Is Barge cement still the glue of choice for resoling rock shoes? What about fabric repair and patch jobs? I've always used Barge, but household Goop seems to be really really good too. My family always carried a green tube of "Duco" Cement I think it was called. Have not seen that for a long time. Can we all agree that Shoe Goo sucks ass and doesn't work for shit? Quote

YocumRidge Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 I just went through this, see: http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/940126/Repair_shop_for_GORE_TEX_leath#Post940126 Shoe goo sucks like hell but Barge cement worked like a charm. Skip the manufacturer' directions to wait for 20 min before joining though, I would say - like a few hours or better yet O/N. Then coat with seam grip. The boots were used and abused on rock and snow for 3 days in a row and no probs so far. P.S. Ace hardware carry small tubes of Barge. Quote
