While at the farm splitting wood my heel came apart almost instantly, so that put a damper on both my mobility, and my mood. But fear not intrepid user, I do some modest leather working (yet another hobby) so I have Barge contact cement on hand, and at the ready. Luckily I had some old screws laying around to keep the two faces apart while the glue sets up. I don’t have a form to hammer on, so once the glue sets up and I apply the pieces together I will just have to stand still with the one boot on, to get it to adhere properly. I only need to do this for a minute or two, then I will take it off and allow the glue to continue curing over night. Otherwise I might have to resort to finishing nails, and duct tape! How fine!
I will be pleased as punch if this works. Besides how scuffed they are, the boots are in terrific condition as far as I’m concerned. I’m on my second set of laces, but the steel toes are great, the soles are intact, even if the one side came apart like the glue just fainted and evaporated this morning. “Oh dear, I have the vapours!” Poof! …and gone.
Well it’s Wednesday, hump day. I have some paid work to go take care of, and some volunteer artwork to submit for the fair APPR department, so I best get on it. Random hobbies are cool. Otherwise I would not have the best in class industrial contact cement on hand. Lucky me!
