Default araldite comparisons

No specific project in mind, but I often use it to fix shoes--I know
you're supposed to use Evo for that but I keep thinking 2-part resins
are stronger. The Evo seems to work off after a while, although the
5-min araldite I'm using isn't a lot better. So I was hoping stronger
araldite could do the trick.

A 1-part polyurethane adhesive is probably better for that.


"Bison" shoe adhesive which is a one-part non-foaming adhesive is best.
Araldite is a poor choice for shoes, it may be strong but it doesn't
work well if the leather is moist (as from sweat) and it doesn't
tolerate flexing at all.
