E-6000 is hearty and more "rubbery" than super glues. They take a lot longer to cure, but I'd bet they last longer, especially as they're made for more porous materials than the cyanocryalates! :) I've even had good results with wood glue one time.<br /><br />Shoe repair shops are still around too, and a proper repair costs five or ten bucks compared to thirty-forty for a cheap pair of shoes.<br /><br />Thank you so much for commenting!DLMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08768285199864217885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033598682489350651.post-65746478626363508122014-03-15T05:59:04.163-04:002014-03-15T05:59:04.163-04:00I have learned with clothes that if I just keep we...I have learned with clothes that if I just keep wearing, washing, and repairing them, sooner or later, someone will give me more. (Though I have seen fit to purchase new undergarments in the past few years.) <br />I get the distinct impression that I am odd in this. Just based on the sheer quantity of clothing being sold out there, I must assume that someone is buying it--and that it's one of the most popular things out there. I'd rather superglue my shoes back together (hey, they are still holding,) and buy another book. :)<br />I've often wondered if other people are treating clothes as disposable. It's easy to see something pretty or different and think, "Oooh, I want that!" And so often we're told "You deserve that!" (Usually by my mother, who thinks I need new shoes.) <br /><br />Anyway, thanks for the thought-provoking post :)Scheherazadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16870122679819917572noreply@blogger.com
