Next up: Reglue!
Pinks were one 12-13 hour session and the greens were four 24 hour sessions. Now that I’ve got all the right tools and donors I’m ready to reglue. Will post my finished products when I’m done.

Barge super stik, barge infinity cement or barge original cement and why?
Getting ready to reglue and I messed up once already with the Angelus shoe glue and had to start back over. I see a mix of barge superstik, barge original cement and barge infinity cement. Which ones do I use? I see the superstik and the infinity cement are far harder to come by but what’s the difference? Just the Odor or is the bond stronger one one vs the others?
For scope: I’m replying foamposites. Regluing the full bottom. Carbon fiber plates, tabs to carbon fiber plates and the whole sole.

Electric greens update
Almost 24 hour session done. Fixed my mistake of not letting having a fan on them. Not too bad. Not as good as the pinks but I know it’s because these were decently used so more wear and the pinks were almost ds.
Probably won’t come 100% back but my plan is two 48 hour sessions.

I did it!
My first time since like 2012 when I was using Sally’s 40 crème developer and I did a pair of 11s since I was still into Jordan’s.
This only took about 12 hours. I’m in awe. I posted on fb already but I was totally expecting to have to do at least two or three 48 hour sessions but I started these about 6 or 7 in the evening last night and this morning I woke up about 7:30 and went to check and this was the result. I should thrown my electric green soles in there too but I was being lazy. Those are about to go in tonight. Gonna reglue the pinks tonight. I’m going to make a short video of my process and mistakes and wins I had.

First time poster
Best sole sauce with pictures of outcomes? I just got back into sneakers after years. I bought a bunch of “OGish” foams and now I have a whole lot of restoring to do. I used to use salon care 40 to whiten but I never really had great results even back then. I see so many brands now and they’re pretty pricey so I don’t want to just buy whatever. I see the Nu antidote but I’m super skeptical about that.
