Barge All Purpose Cement, Red, 32 fl oz

I've used this cement for everything from shoe repair to crafting, cosplay, and it never fails to impress. The bond it creates is absolutely phenomenal. Once this stuff sets, it's permanent. I've had projects last for years without any signs of the glue failing. I appreciate that it's a neutral color, so it doesn't leave any ugly yellow residue or bleed through materials. The quart size is perfect for me as a serious hobbyist; it's a great value and will last a long time. A little goes a long way! A quick tip for new users: Make sure you have good ventilation. The fumes are strong, but that's the sign of a powerful, professional-grade contact cement. Also, remember the key to using contact cement is to let both coated surfaces become tacky-dry before pressing them together for that instant, super-strong bond. Yes, the packaging might vary, but the legendary quality inside the can does not. If you need a reliable, industrial-strength adhesive, look no further. This is the real

Amazing stuff! 1 quart is exactly how much you need for 1 cowhide cemented into a board to hang. Easy to apply, smells as expected, sticks great!

I use barge for EVA foam as well as shoe modifications. It works extremely well. To get the best bond make sure you apply it to both sides of the foam and waiti till its just barely tackey. That will give you the strongest bond.

Barge is amazing for glueing leather and show repair. Make sure to let both sides dry completely before clamping it together.

This stuff is sticky! What a great product! no wonder it is the industry standard for adhesion between EVA foam boards and any other foam product. It was used in our shop to attach foam to MDF and to attach strapping for cinching mixers into road cases. Its a great product. And WOW does it have an odor. Use it in a well ventilated area. The little brush is okay for incidental use, but plan on using a paint brush for larger areas. Oh, and... be super careful when presenting two surfaces together after the glue dries. Once they touch (even a little) they are bonded! The strength of the bond is impressive. I would definitely use this again when bonding EVA foam.

The cement is great, but the packaging and shipping is horrible. My can came damaged with a huge dent in the side. The can doesn't even sit flat on the table anymore. The glue was just loose in a large box and could bump around during shipping. The glue was still sealed in the can so I didn't bother returning it. The shipper needs to de a much better job packing this box and ensuring it arrives safely.

I’ve used this product for years and it works well every time. It pays to read the directions particularly concerning “tacky” and dry times. You won’t be disappointed in this product. Seller and product are both excellent.

This is the strongest contact clue there is but read the instructions. Apply a thin layer on each piece that you are gluing together and wait at least 15 to 25 minutes before attaching the two pieces together. If you want a thicker coat, apply in stages and wait 15 to 25 minutes between coats. I glued two pieces of rubber together as described above, and the blond would not come apart, the rubber tears before bond breakage.
