Shoo Goo for bike repairs
Got a tube of this for the first time in years. Fixed the soles of my
favorite Aussie boots very easily. Then I thought--this stuff has got to have bike applications. So I patched a scuffed hole on a cheap but very comfy Velo saddle, so water won't get to the padding. Also patched a few rips on my city bike's cork tape. Not sexy stuff--but fixes problems. I've heard of using the black version to retread tubies, but that's probably urban legend. |

They look the same, have similar consistencies, and both smell vaguely of feline urine (before curing). -- Tēm ShermĒn - 42.435731,-83.985007 I am a vehicular cyclist. |

Are your cats ****ing complex carbon chains? More importantly: are you huffing the fumes, and is it a wicked buzz? |

Sherm works in asphalt.....Goop's carrier is toulene et al.
saddle repair 1 Aug 9 2005 2 Aug 12 2005 riders emailed thanks for saving saddles. when the first coat begins tearing off, trim with razor and recoat. The 1st spare Spec saddle here......lets see hmmmm left stern near tilt alarm box......is on its 4-5 recoating at 12 years and maybe 14,000 miles ? The different tubes are different mixes but same stuff. For saddles Shoe Goo isnot best-too stiff-try Sports Goop. Auto Goop is very stiff for dripless apps. when you glue think try Seattle Fabrics for nylon and NRS kayak for other surfaces. Then go to the muthaload- 3M - and over to Graingers to see what costs. SF's nylon glue is incroyable. |

yeah , forgotto.
GOOP isnot glue, at least not like contact cement, its more like an advanced state mucilage. No, it does not adhere as glue two sides, to tubes or patches |
