Looks like you're going to have a busy weekend.

Yeah. Today was that and mascot work. Tomorrow is going to be an observation of how I react to valium to prep for surgery on the 14th.

I wasn't aware that you have upcoming surgery. Can I know what it's about if you don't mind? I wish you well on the 14th.

For a root canal. The drug works about 4 hrs on me. Probably will watch Fear and Loathing in a bit.

so that's how it's done... Nice granite countertop even o.o!

I love our kitchen. It's all nice and clean in there now.

There's a number of other steps, but that's just the first one.

Do you use shoegoo by any chance, Chilly? I was wondering how it would bond the soles to the foam. I just aquired some soling from a local cobbler as you recomended. Turned out there was one within walking distance and I didn't even know it! *facepalm* But anyways, the cobbler brought up a good point...does shoegoo adhere to the foam okay? Or should I go ahead and apply a layer, let it dry, then glue the sole so that it has somethign to really adhere to?

I haven't used that one yet, but I hear good things about it I need to look into an epoxy for a particular job soon. I use a contact rubber cement. I brush it on (with gloves) both the midsole and shoe, let it dry til it's tacky, line up both halves, press them together, and then firmly inside of the shoe.

If the shoe curves up, don't glue down the curve. You can cut a wedge of foam out and glue that underneath.

I use for a mid sole the dark grey rubber foam mats found in the carpet section of a hardware store. Once the fur is on, it'll wrap over it and secure underneath.

Any specific rubber cement brand you suggest? I'll be heading to Home Depot asap to get some. I went to the cobbler and already bought the rubber soling, so I probably won't be using the carpet matting.

It's just contact cement. That's basically what my metal container says.

Alrighty, I'll see what I can find. Thank you for your help Chilly!

No problem. Good luck with your project.
