Hi Hans

You are lucky I try these glue too ( not sure about the Shoe-goo but I try
a glue from the shoe repairmen
without success ) but with time they don't hold and I take good care to
degrease the HDPE or LDPE or
Polypropylene. for now the only glue I know that really stick to these
substances is the glue use to make
the tape sticky I don't know the name , you can buy this glue in roll like
double side tape but it's just
the glue but I don't know how it resist time, UV, ozone and nitrous oxide.
