Acidburn50 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Hi there, is there a general consensus on whats better for holding the vinyl on the boots, shoo goo or E6000. Going to be attempting to make mine soon and was wondering what the better option is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zugor Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I used the Shoe Goo on my son's boots and it worked really well. I have to admit that it looked and smelled a lot like E6000 so its probably the same stuff in a different package. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroker Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I also us shoe on my boots. The fumes are rough,but it works and holds perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenyone Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I struggled with this also. I read that Barge contact cement is probably the strongest, but it's a contact cement....so very little wiggle room for re-positioning if you mess up. As others have said, ShoeGoo and E6000 are probably very closely comparable. I used E6000 myself on the recommendation of other TB's in my garrison that have years of trooping having used it on their boots. You just have to be patient and give it time to dry. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dart Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 One thing that's important is to make sure you apply the glue evenly. So, when you gob it on, take a popsicle stick (or whatever) and spread it around so it's everywhere. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
