I really really like your channel but that foam u used to cover up the void in the sole... That looks like packaging foam and that wont last.... The hardener I know recommends to add 5-8% volume of the glue for it to do anything.
Thanks for the observations. Much appreciated but if by packaging foam you mean styrofoam, no it's not that. This is Eva. The same foam typically used in bags with the little air pockets. I also use the same for ankle cushions in boots. I think they last well enough but I will watch to check for any degradation over time. You sound like you know quite a bit about adhesives. Let me know if you will be kind enough to join me on a live to discuss it.
@@KpomoBespoke Thanks for the answer. Good to know that this is EVA, then this is fine. Looked like this really spongy packaging foam with huge air pockets.Might have been the UA-cam compression that made it hard to see. I am no professional to be honest, just a hobby shoemaker/cobbler. Mostly I restore vintage boots from as early as the 1940s. I could Talk about that but about adhesives I probably do not have more knowledge then you do. But I am open to discuss this topic as well. So If you still want to talk on live we can do it.
Oil on the thread of glue container 👌
Hardener has been helpful especially while working with (epo-oxy) chemical gum
