[@lukasemmel9502]

Honestly, what I respect most about this man is, that he's probably one of the most in-touch-with-themselves person ever. He doesn't feel like he needs to explain his preferences or defend liking things others might call him out on (sewing, wearing uggs, etc.). This man is such a good role model for how to combat toxic masculinity. He just don't care if others think he's less of a man because he likes certain things, he knows that he doesn't have to prove himself to others, because he gets all the validation he needs from being at peace with himself. Really, this channel is what I fucking need in this pandemic and I love each and every person that is working to keep these videos up! Thanks Adam and the Tested team for being wholesome as fuck!

Adam doesn’t care just like men who you call toxic males don’t care what you think. Thanks for the comment. Ive been watching Adam for yrs. Not once did I question his masculinity.

[@pileofstuff]

Question from a non-American: Is Barge the only brand of contact cement you guys have? Or is it just the one that everyone uses? On maker youtube I hear the Barge brand name used pretty much as a generic term - like Kleenex or Band-aid

[@project86xero]

@@pileofstuff It's the best contact cement we have access too. Elmer's, and several other brands, make a contact cement. However, as a leather craftsman I can attest, none work like Barge. Although Elliot is correct. It's cancer in a can. I use it an a ventilated area with a respirator. Because why not.

[@ElliotNesterman]

@@pileofstuff There are lots of contact cements. Barge became really popular with leather craft hobbyists in the 60s, as at the time it was one of the few that was available in smaller than industrial quantities. Also, it holds while staying flexible, which is important for leather work but not so much for laminating counter tops, etc.

[@Tater_Lord]

@@pileofstuff even in Australia we have barge and boy if you have older can of it it is insane how much you can do with it they must have changed the recipe somewhere the newer stuff isn't quite as aggresive

@@Tater_Lord The most accessible Barge contact cement in the US is toluene free. Their original formula with toluene in the red and yellow can is harder to find and works noticeably differently than the other formulas.

All joking aside, I did learn that I've been using contact cement incorrectly my entire life. I gave up on it years ago (especially for shoe repair) because it never held longer than a month or so. I was sticking things together far too wet. Thanks for the info on how to use it correctly. Looking forward to trying again!

[@bbb462cid]

Oh man, back in the day when I was into car restoration as a hobby I used this extremely slightly pliable cement for things like platic interior trim repair of instrument panel surrounds etc. It was EVIL smelling. And it held like a dobermann with lockkjaw. The worse it smells, the better it works.

[@JesseCohen]

Good to know, I have some minor shoe AND car interior trim to repair. Barge glue it is. Side question, if you know. Adam mentioned thinking it down a touch as possible, though he opted not to. Would that be with mineral spirits or isopropyl, or some other thinning agent? Thanks!

[@bbb462cid]

@@JesseCohen Depends on the material. Each of these glues should have a TDS (Technical data sheet) available at their manufacturers' websites. A trick I used to use with the trim was if I need to fix say a plastic stud, I would use a plastic drinking straw as a mold. The straw goes over the stud, seal the bottom with something like play-doh, and out the glue in the sraw. You need some kind of former or mold; the stuff will tend to run all over. There are fairly inexpensive plastic welding kits now, but thre's a learning curve.

It can be a real pain, you never know how the material will take a dye. If he was after a very particular shade/color then it's way easier to spend the time and effort to just buy one already that color. It would be different if he wanted black, or a dark brown or whatever but charcoal bluegray is a hard one.

[@justmejesse6216]

I’m a cobbler and I do this all the time. Another thing you can do is peal the sole back just a little bit further. This is because the glue that’s already there is likely going to wear out as well. Also after you let the glue sit for about 5 minutes you then put the upper back onto the sole. When gluing you’ll want to put as much on there you can. Then to get rid of the overflow glue (after it dries) you’ll take a piece of runner or an eraser and rub it off. Works like a charm.

I personally wear mahabis around the house. But I have to tip my hat to Ugg. My wife (who is Australian) really wanted to get our daughter a pair of Uggs while we were visiting Australia. She got her this kick ass navy blue pair with a cool stitching pattern. A few days later we had made our way to Argentina and as our Daughter was being carried one of the boots fell off. We immediately doubled back and tried to look for the missing boot but it was no where to be seen. I went back later to look again but nothing. At that point we had to just say it was missing but we kept the boot we had. A couple months later we tell the story to my father in law in Australia, he says “let me go ask the factory if they have a spare boot we can buy, it not far”. So he pops up to the factory and they don’t have anything left like that... but they ended up making a special one off right boot,for free no less.

Adam glues a boot. Now this is the sort of premium content I come to KZbin for :D

[@aubrykleinsorge1694]

Yessss! Thank you for telling me how to properly use cement glue!

[@sbaddison]

We call these “Slag Wellies” here in the U.K. 🤣

[@eglewether5523]

This is actually tool tip, first 4 minutes is Adam showing how effective the glue is

[@dubya13207]

Once I made myself a kneeling pad out of a puzzle-piece workout mat cut in half and doubled-up. I accidentally failed to ensure there wasn’t much air in between, and I was lazy/cheap and only did the edge. The consequence was an *amazing* air bubble trapped between the layers, and I love it! Adam could have tried that for his shoe :)

Innit though... Lady boots 🤠

[@subascosauce8288]

Adam clearly loves solvents and their scents haha, only periodically of course and not in secret.

[@AlasdairGR]

You learn to love a lot of weird and slightly dangerous smells as a maker. I love the smell of solder, linseed oil, lacquer, and paint.

[@rnp497]

they may look grim but they are super comfortable and warm - and it is true once worn the style doesn't matter

The second most undignified thing a man can do, is walk with a flapping shoe sole. (The first, is chasing a run-away hat in the wind)

[@slovakgal]

Adam is like the handy uncle who knows everything to me. I can watch him apply glue to a shoe and yet I still feel like I've learned 10 different bits of skill just from that (don't be too proud to use a vice to open a can, get the right tools, using a little stick to prop it open, edge to edge, etc...). One day, I hope my kids will watch this channel and find it just as insightful and fun :)

[@Mireaze]

When my adult “children” ask me for a Christmas list, it is exactly one item long: “socks.”

[@theunemployedpropguy3188]

Our Prop shop in the theater is down the hall from Wardrobe. We always know when they’re doing shoe repair because the smell of barge comes floating down the hall. I love the smell of barge in the morning.

[@MonsterGrove]

Ok so the glue is “Barge Contact Cement”? Is that correct? Looks like a good shoe glue !

[@Exon.47]

Yeah!

[@ElliotNesterman]

It is one of the two contact cements that are standard in shoe repair shops. I forget the name of the other one.

[@pastagandalf]

@@ElliotNesterman in Europe it is Kövulfix, AFAIK.

[@michaelpain]

@@ElliotNesterman Masters is probably the most popular. Barge is thought of as a consumer brand but works just fine. We use Renia Colle de Cologne because it's less toxic.

Only Adam Savage could make fixing an old pair of fake Ugg Boots sound like an art form. 😁

[@macdietz]

He lives in San Fransisco, wears a JusticeNerd shirt and calls his wife his partner, of course he wears Uggs.

[@thedoneeye]

Seeing Adam thwacking the boot with that hammer made me think of that scene in ALIENS where Pvt. Hudson says, "Hey Bishop! Do the thing with the knife!!"

[@ryanthorne5432]

I’m wearing UGGs as I watch this.

[@B-A-L]

This video kind of reminded me of the scene in the BBC comedy series called Outnumbered which was made a few years ago: Karen: "I want my UGG boots! Where are my UGG boots?" Jake: "She doesn't have UGG boots." Sue: "No, she's just written UGG on the side of her boots."

[@brandonyoung-kemkes1128]

I can’t judge I wear crocs around the house.

Americans not removing their shoes in the house, and Adam talking like he's weird for *not* doing that, is crazy to me.

[@BlutigeTranen]

As an American, I do not know a single person who walks about their home with their shoes on. I'm not sure where this comes from or if, regionally speaking, we just aren't insane in Maine.

[@millenniumf1138]

@@BlutigeTranen I'm from Kansas, and I only know like one person who takes their shoes off in the house. It must be a regional thing.

[@claudiah.2935]

I’m a Minnesotan and it’s so rare to leave shoes on in the house. MAYBE if you have tile flooring everywhere? But home flooring here is generally carpet or hardwood and our outdoor shoes are rarely dry after coming inside! I remember wearing sandals inside the house in Arizona, though. Must be regional like another commenter suggested!

[@darkvixen28]

Mine come off at the door simply because I hate wearing shoes. I have slippers for in the house if I want them. Same with mom. Dad though practically lives in his shoes 🙄 Gramma's rule of no shoes was more accident prevention...because tile floors and wet shoes don't mix well.

[@lkibbler]

One of my most cherished treasures are my pair of men’s size 13, tall (even with the top folded over and a wide cuff of soft wool showing they are taller than the model Adam has) original made in Australia UGG boots. These are the ones that have colorful embroidered details on the top edge. These tall men’s boots haven’t been made for at least 20 years and are so comfortable it’s probably illegal.

[@dukenukem8381]

In Europe everybody takes off their shoes in home

[@skjetnis]

Who in their right mind wears shoes inside. Absolutely disgusting

[@RedmarKerkhof]

Not everybody. Here in the Netherlands it varies from house to house. It's common to ask if you need to take of your shoes when you visit someone's house for the first time. Neither is particularly looked down on by the other.

[@nealsterling8151]

@@RedmarKerkhof Same here in Germany, at least the part where i come from (the southwest).

[@OneMouseGaming]

He only wears them inside the house. IE they are a shoes off household, but he and the mrs living in a san fran building that probably getts chilly, wear those shoes in their house & only in the house.If they are leaving they change shoes. Anyone that wants to give him shade for the uggs should remember that he just repaired what most would throw away.

[@bbb462cid]

Very few people in the USA take showers with their shoes on, or go to bed with their shoes on. I don't know why taking shoes off in the home is such a source of continental pride, but if you need that type of validation so deperately, congratulations I guess.

[@dylanfan424]

Just a tip from someone who had opened hundreds of cans of stuck pvc glue. Make sure your channel locks are facing the way you are turning the lid. The teeth only want to bite in that direction. Love the videos keep it up!

[@jasongardner8302]

For the record, I'm wearing UGG slippers as I watch this. They are VERY comfy and warm.
