Stroker Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Honestly you be better off to go with goop. It's easier to spread and once it dries it seems to "me" to hold the vinly better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have to agree with Tim. Shoe Goo is the way to go. Just coat the boot and the vinyl let it tack up a bit and then stick it on.

Chunk Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Made a few pairs of boots ALL wil E-6000. I use a large tongue depresser to spread the glue. Never had an issue, plus any glue that spills out can be rubbed off without any damage to the boot. Once I've streached the toe cap minimum of 3X, I unpin 1 side of ther boot, & squeeze E-6000 all over that side & smear with the tongue depressor & repin. Then repete on the other side. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THUNDERCAT Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Hey guys just reading your post's about to tackle the boots, I am from Australia so we don't have E6000, so Shoe Gloo is the way to go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's the stuff! Used it on my Ewok stompers and it works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubonos Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I made my boots with shoe goo and e6000 for the rest of the costume. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrooper1697 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I love E6000. I used it for many of my builds. I have built two sets of biker scout boots using E6000 and push pins. It stays where I want it, holds up for years, and a simple razor blade can remove it if needed. For me, shoe goo was a little too runny and difficult to work with, but then again, I'm a brute and not very good with my hands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FO3Winger Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I used E6000 on my boots and unfortunately i had to redo the whole thing, not because of the glue but a sizing issue, I can tell you that trying to peel off that vinyl with that glue underneath was one heck of a workout, without a lot of heat that stuff just wont come undone. I can definitely vouch for how good that stuff is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk1234 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I would have to agree with Tim. Shoe Goo is the way to go. Just coat the boot and the vinyl let it tack up a bit and then stick it on. I too am in the Shoo Goo camp. I just finished my boots. The Shoo Goo is incredible. It sets up within 2 hours and I was able to remove the pins and move onto the next step. This made everything move much quicker. A day to cut and sew the leather; the next day to build the boots. When I was trimming the toe pieces I dug the knife blade a bit too deep into the sole. I used the Goo to seal it back up and now the sole is firmly attached to the rest of the boot again. Awesome stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
