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

Great adhesive for bag making—I’ll definitely buy more. It dries quickly and keeps the finished product flexible. Just keep in mind that it has a strong odor, so make sure to use it in a well-ventilated area.

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.

Works flawlessly.!!!!

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.

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.

I’m 75 yo. My father owned a shoe repair shop in the 60s-90s. He always said this is the best glue for leather. I use it for leather work. To be honest I never use anything else. Although I do keep track of the closest competitors. It appears to me the competitors have raised prices sufficiently enough to come close to equaling the Barge price. I still maintain Barge is best.
