Default Applying Pliobond - directions on bottle and on package aren'tthe same

In this case, looking to apply to running shoes per a recommendation
in the running group.

Bottle says:

Apply Pliobond contact cement on both surfaces. If absorbed apply
additional coats.
Allow cement to almost dry
Hold under pressure 10-15 minutes until dry, preferably overnight

Package says:

To clean dry surfaces apply a thin uniform coast to each surface.
Permit both to dry completely. If one surface is extremely porous,
apply a second coat and also permit to dry. When ready to assemble,
apply an additional coast to either surface and when tacky press
firmly together. Use pressure if possible during final bonding. �The
resulting bond permits rapid handling but total cure strength develops
in about 7 days.

Any thoughts from previous experience? How would one apply pressure
when using on running shoes? Someone mentioned using heat during
application, how would that be done?

Thanks for all input


Having used plibond daily for many years at work, but not on shoes, on
rubber pads glued to metal.

coat thinly let dry, on both surfaces.

apply thin coat on both surfaces again let almost dry then put
together, the longer the pressure the better.

do in well ventilated area, and let sit oivernite under pressure.

plibond is basic contact cement, its a brand name.

its very good bond, as long as you leave partially dry or it will take
days to dry and stick
