JWONG Barge Infinity Cement All Purpose Clear One Quart

Barge is a rubber cement. It's long lasting, water proof, flexible, it's been around for decades and works every time on what it's made for. It's the best product of it's kind. Period. My Dad was self-employed as an Orthopedic Shoe Repairman and owned his own shop for 20 years and Barge is the only rubber cement he would use. He also did regular shoe repair and on the side he was an excellent saddle maker and saddle repair expert and repaired saddles for the riders in Kentucky which was (and I think still is) a horse riding state, and he only used Barge in his saddle making and saddle repair business and hobby. I say hobby because saddle making was his passion, he loved making high quality riding saddles and it was a "hobby for profit" to him, but he would make them for the love or making them weather they sold or not. Bottom line: If it was made with leather, Barge was used in the making of it. How it's used makes all the difference. It's a very tacky glue/cement and what you do is follow these simple steps in the use of Barge and it will work for you perfectly ever time: 1.) Clean both sides of the item to be glued and once cleaned use a fine grain sandpaper and rough up the surfaces to be glued just a little bit. (DO NOT use sand paper if it will rip or tear the item). 2.) Use an equal amount of Barge on both items to be glued together and let the Barge "set-up", become tacky, for about 5 - 15 minutes. What's "tacky"? When you can touch the surface of the Barge with one clean finger and it feels sticky but does not come off on your finger, it's "tacky". 3.) Place both pieces to be glued together, glued sides against each other and either use clamps (like C-Clamps) with two braces against each side to make the pressure equal against the entire pieces being glued or place a heavy weight on top of the pieces to be glued. You must do this to keep air pockets from forming between the two glue covered items so the bond created won't break causing the the item to pull apart. This is a "MUST" or the bond will fail. 4.) Allow to set like this for at least 30 minutes, longer if possible and the longer the better. If you can let the item sit clamped or weighted together overnight do it, that is the best way. Don't think you have to go out and buy clamps, using whatever heavy item you can find to put pressure evenly across the area to be glued is fine. My Dad often used a brick or dumb bell. As long as it distributed the weight evenly, was enough weight, it was fine. Remember if you use C-Clamps to use a two pieces of wood or whatever you can find to assure the pressure is distributed evenly or air pockets will form and the bonding will fail. No air pockets and the bonding will hold and take more abuse than you could imagine! IN THE EVENT YOU CAN'T APPLY WEIGHT: such as gluing fabric to an item (car door interior for example) don't worry about it, fabric is bonded by using a cold Iron or other smooth item you can use to press against the fabric and smooth over the top surface for about 15 minutes to get the air pockets out and then let set over night. Again: Most fabric doesn't need the pressing or weight to create a good bond, just 'ironing' it will work BUT DO NOT USE A WARM OR HOT IRON AS IT WILL DESTROY THE TACKY SURFACE YOU NEED TO CREATE THE BOND!!!. Don't re-invent the wheel here, just do it the way it's always worked best for the best results. Hope this helps! Again, you can't go wrong with Barge. Hope this helps

Haven’t use it yet but it came in time.

I love this glue. It is so good for making and designing crop shoes or any other leather plastic it is amazing.

I’ve ordered this product a few times and every time the shipping is longer than started in Amazon. I use it to glue patches on to hats and it’s been awesome so far. Very strong. Does and up drying out though before I finish using the container.

This contact cement is one of the best in my opinion. From shoe sole to leather and anything that needs to be affixed that normally contact cement glue is used.

Buen producto excelente

Perfect

I noticed that the front rubber on my shoes was coming off and after doing some research figured I'd get barge infinity cement as many said it's good for shoe repairs and better than shoe goo or the average super glue. The general process was simple enough, just had to apply the glue to both sides that needed to be bonded, then after waiting 5-10 minutes used a hair dryer to heaten the glue. It's important to apply hot air using a heat gun or hair dryer to activate the glue and speed up the drying process. Once I applied hot air I then hammered the rubber onto the surface to seal the bond. I was happy the results, the bond seems strong and after a week it's still holding up. Just apply the glue carefully and use masking tape just in case there's any excess glue so that the glue doesn't go on unwanted areas. I so some reviews saying the glue dries too fast, that it doesn't work, I had no such issues. Will definitely be using it for more shoe repairs!

Good

Comprata per progetti cosplay, incolla per sempre direi. Praticamente è la classica colla dei calzolai. Purtroppo, o per fortuna, per evitare accidentali perdite durante il trasporto al barattolo viene praticamente incollata una busta intorno, quindi sia la rimozione che il mantenerla rendono illeggibili le indicazioni classiche... uso, precauzioni, composizione etc. Per questo le 4 stelle. Personalmente utilizzata per progetti cosplay su parti in foam; si applica strato su entrambe parti da incollare (pennello saldato al tappo del barattolo, molto grosso... munirsi quindi di altri piccoli a basso costo per lavori di precisione), attendere 5 minuti o che comunque diventi opaca e quindi procedere ad unire i pezzi. Usare maschera di protezione come per vernici se utilizzata al chiuso.

Perfect for sole reglues
