Tuff Toe Adhesive Alternative

[Veryzer]

I just got tuff toe off Ebay for DD's turf shoes and found that the adhesive had dried in the tube...must be really old. Anyway, the tube says it contains acetone and the instructions call for the glue to dry for twenty minutes before applying the actual tuff toe and heating with a blow dryer. Anyone know of an adhesive that will do the job as well. (Yes, I've contacted the seller and am assuming they'll do right, but if I can just go to the hardware store, that works for me.)

Thanks

Is that the molded one? I always buy the stuff you need to apply yourself.

Yeah, I got the molded toe, not the dipped version.

I don't want to hijack your thread, but do you like the molded ones? I bought the application gun from Tuff Toe and have always applied it myself the last several years. The stuff usually outlasts the cleats.

First time. I'm giving JB Superweld a try and see how it works. It definitely doesn't look great. If/when it fails I'm going to go with the dip. Is it a losing battle to try it without the gun?

It comes with an applicator you can use just fine. I just realized I'd be doing three pairs of shoes a year, so I paid extra for the gun. Honestly, if you're steady with your hands, you don't need the gun. Once I got the hang of it, the process is easy. The most important part is to sand the surface to which you'll apply the Tuff Toe very well or it won't adhere right.

Shoe Goo is really, really good stuff

I'm assuming your talking about pitchers toe. If so, try Gorilla Glue. My sister and I had a pair of molded cleats with pitchers toe completely fall off. We used some Gorilla Glue on it and it held up just fine until we got replacement cleats in metal.

Shoe Goo didn't last one game for my DD. Tuff Toe is the only thing that lasts.
