Barge Toluene Free All Purpose Cement ( 3/4 Fl Oz. )

You know what? This works fine.I expected to be disappointed with the "toluene free" version of Barge cement based on some of the reviews and my general experience with products that switch to less harsh solvents. I decided to give it a go anyways since you can only buy the yellow-label stuff in large quantities (or from ebay sellers who decant into small containers which inevitably dry up early).If you follow the directions it works fine. Prep all surfaces, apply to both, allow to dry, and then apply with firm pressure (or beat on with a hammer). These are the same steps you need with the yellow-label stuff, and it won't work well if you skip any. If you don't want to wait, find another glue.Still smells awful, but not quite as bad as the yellow stuff.

This product works great for re-glueing soles on flat sandals and tennis shoes. Have used this product several times before.

Used it to repair some treads on tennis shoes.

I'm glad it's toluene free but keep in mind that it still smells. The glue tends to dry really quickly leading to the glue becoming "gummy" while I'm still spreading it. All in all, not a bad contact adhesive. Works well with leather and holds really well. I think I'll have to get a pint size or quart sized container soon.

This cement is an excellent product. It really works. Follow the instructions. Coat each surface thoroughly. Let the cement set/dry and then press the surfaces together and keep pressure/weight whatever you are cementing together. I let my shoesset over night and the bonding was perfect.

Quick shipping - thanks. Been using Barge cement for years repairing climbing shoes and hiking boots. There are lots of copycats but nothing better. Should have bought larger size.

It was very expensive, I thought I was buying the tube I always bought locally. Couldn’t find it, so I bought on line, h the tube recieved was less than half of what I previously bought at the same price or lower.Won’t buy that again!

This adhesive was recommended for permanent leather to leather seams. I used it on a DIY motorcycle seat covering, and it appears to have worked well. It has only been a few days, but the seam feels strong.
