Barge All Purpose Cement, Neutral, 1 quart

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

This stuff has been around forever so I feel it doesn't really need a review but I used it for a very specific application so I wanted to post how well it worked. I recently wanted to add a hitting strip to my 1-inch-thick indoor golf hitting mat. Since most hitting strips are around 2 inches thick, I needed an adhesive that would securely bond the mat to 1-inch EVA foam tiles while still allowing some flexibility. My hitting mat is 5' × 4', and I used almost the entire 32 oz. can. I spread an even coat on both the mat and the foam tiles using a 1/8-inch notched trowel, then applied the 2' × 2' tiles one at a time. Afterward, I covered everything with a sheet of plywood, added weight on top, and left it overnight. The bond is incredible. It would be impossible to separate the two layers without tearing the foam first. At the same time, the mat is still flexible enough (though understandably a bit stiffer) to be rolled up and transported. This process turned my $150 Amazon hitting mat into something that feels like a $500 name-brand mat. I couldn't be happier with the results.

This is the best contact cement available on the market today. My dad was a shoemaker and used this product exclusively to replace soles & heels on thousands of happy customer’s shoes for over 40 years.

This stuff is awesome, sets up quickly and so far has held perfectly

This is the real deal. It is expensive. I had reservations. But I had those inserts that cost $400 from the foot and ankle people. Use 99% alcohal to clean the insert, then use this product. On any shoe. This product is the grandaddy of them all. The can is well made and it will keep for you for years.
