DAP Weldwood Contact Cement 3oz. Tan, Water Resistant, Strong, Instant Bond

This glue is a fantastic contact cement. Worked like a charm. I had wasted about $16 on silicone based glues that didn’t bond well when the surfaces made contact, to put replacement soles on a pair of shoes. I had to peel off all that silicone (which wasn’t that hard to do). So, I tried this. It got extremely tacky after on sitting for 15 minutes and when I pressed the soles (cement applied) to the bottom of the shoes (cement applied) they bonded well on contact. Thing is, you’ve got to be very precise in aligning the objects well when you press them together! The bond is instant, although proper curing takes time. There were just a couple small areas where the soles didn’t bond on the edges (where the shoe bottom tapers a bit), so I squeezed a little more of this cement in there, waited, then re-bonded them in those spots. That worked fine. Took me about 2 hours total and ready to wear after a day. I’ve now been wearing them for a few days and these soles are on there very solid! Like new. I’m very satisfied and will use this product again on any future shoe sole repairs. Much cheaper than a shoe repair shop.Update: After a couple attempts at gluing down difficult edge areas that kept popping loose, I figured out that I was mistaken: this cement is properly cured after SEVERAL DAYS, not several hours. Some areas on the edges did pop loose after wearing. So I had to add more cement to those areas, clamp them (difficult) and leave them that way for several days. I could still smell out gassing solvent. Then, I’m leaving them for another couple weeks for more curing. I’ll report back after a month of wearing these newly glued soles.

I am blown away by the strength and instant bonding ability of this DAP Weldwood Contact Cement. The water-resistant feature is a huge plus, making it perfect for various projects. I love how quickly it creates a strong, long-lasting bond, saving me time and effort. Highly recommend this product for anyone looking for a reliable adhesive that delivers on its promises.

This cement adhesive is truly a lifesaver! The value for money is fantastic, and it holds everything in place permanently. I initially used it for my studio foam, and I'm so relieved I made the switch. Unlike the spray adhesive I used before, this cement ensures that the foam stays securely in place without any issues. Highly recommend trying it out for yourself!

Like many other Contact Cement products, they work very well.Usually, you apply to both surfaces, and shortly after, join them.Voila! Very good adhesion.My only complaint is that whatever's left will soon dry out, and be useless. Frustrating!It happens no matter how tightly you close the cap.Any solutions?

Its good glue. Repaired the inside of my bicycle helmet. Glued in the lining.

One day decided to smith some foam together to make the barbarian axes of my dreams and this glue worked wonders on foam to plastic! Even despite sanding both greatly before applying, I wouldn’t doubt that it would still hold on its own without any prep. Also extremely flexible, thus why it is awesome for foam.

This came in a Zip Lock Bag over the Retail Can. It was fresh when opened and no damage to the Can, Lid, or Brush. I've been using the Brand of Contact Cement for several decades now. When applied CORRECTLY this stuff can last for several YEARS on a Shoe Sole Repair. I always keep a can of this around. It fixes 90% of glue issues in daily life. If you don't know how to use Contact Cement be sure to watch some videos and read up on it. This is GREAT STUFF and I Highly Recommend it. As soon as this can got here I used it to stick the Side Molding back on my Car that blew off during the Hurricane. It's holding like it's WELDED on.

Love this glue, works great on upholstery & EVA foam for cosplay. Might wanna use outdoors or in an open area, has fumes and can easily stain other surfaces.
