Is Shoe Goo goop really just gasoline and styrofoam?

Well, it's NOT styrene - which is what you get if you disolve
styrofoam.. Might be cheaper to buy the kids good used shoes instead
of trying to repair them with goop.
Here's my repair project this morning.

The first think I've learned is that the washing machine is a brutal place
for kids shoes!

What I learned was an ice cube is GREAT for smoothing the shoe goop without
sticking.
And I learned that a bicycle tire tube makes a good strap.

Clamps are ok but they don't fit shoes all that well except when you use a
rectangle of tire tube to repair the back of the heel.
