Barge All Purpose Cement Quart (O22721)

Barge is THE BEST adhesive if you want something strong but flexible. I used to glue a rubber sole to an outdoor shoe and it lasted longer than the shoe itself. The is truly a professional product, but does’t require professional skill to use. This size can is a lot and may last years (if tightly sealed), but is still a great bargain even if only for one special use. It is that good.

I’ve used Barge All Purpose Cement for several DIY projects, including shoe repairs, costume construction, and bonding leather to rubber — and it’s been excellent every time. The bond is incredibly strong and long-lasting. Once it cures, it holds up really well, even under stress and movement.The application is easy with the included brush inside the lid, and a little goes a long way. Just make sure to follow the directions for best results — applying to both surfaces, letting it tack up, then pressing together. It dries quickly and creates a flexible, professional-looking finish.This cement is a staple in my craft and repair toolkit now. Highly recommended for anyone working with leather, rubber, fabric, or other tough-to-glue materials! Great for cosplay

Best glue for leather working strong smell.

It really is the best for all leather working projects. I’ve used it for bags, rebinding books, belts, etc. The smell isn’t great, but this is still the gold standard for this type of product.

It's hard to beat Barge cement. I have used this stuff for years on all sorts of materials and it always does the job. Its my go to rubber cement.

Many craftsmen swear by Barge Cement, and justly so. For shoe makers, it is the Best, with little disagreement. For experienced leather workers, well, just say it is the 'go to' product when you want a bond that is permanent and waterproof. the two pieces won't come apart! However, there are some situations where you might need to reposition two pieces befor it sets, and here is where another product will provide a better 'fit' for your project. However, when it comes to gluing two pieces of leather (and other materials) together permanently, I have found no better product! I onlky gave 4 stars because of the repositioning need. Great Product!

Great stuff!! Adheres strong and flexible for shoe repair. Make sure to use in well-ventilated rooms.

I used this to bond a new rubber sole to a leather upper. I used a mallet to get the best bond. Once it was set up (24 hrs) it was "like one"! Be sure to use an organic respirator and plenty of ventilation as the Toluene will give you a serious headache and potential brain damage. Not to be taken lightly. High VOC content but it works like no other.
