Shoe goo alternatives in Aus?

[Warby]

I have some body repairing to do but shoe goo is not easy to find in Australia. Well I can't find any. Can anyone suggest an alternatives with the same results as shoe goo? I did find the drywall tape surprisingly.

I what about this?

last time I bought Shoe goo was in Amart All Sports/Rebel Sports...either that or at Mathers≥. There is a rubberised compound you can get a Bunnings too that you can paint on which may be ok....dunno

Isn’t that more like a contact adhesive, not sure how that will go on the tape

You can get shoo go on eBay.com.au

E6000 could be one alternative bassicly the same stuff also gorilla makes something similar too

As an alternative to shoo goo and drywall tape, I've used gorilla clear repair tape instead. It seems to be holding up. Needs to be a clean surface and just layer and overlap it for added strength

Try to locate "E6000". It is the commercial trade name for ShooGoo.
Identical same product.
E6000 was rebranded as ShooGoo because of its universal use for the masses.
Here in the USA I get it at The Home Depot. 2.0 Oz for about $6.00 USD. And if I buy ShooGoo, it is actually more money when found in a convenience store.

I found USA Shoo Goo at a Rebel Sports outlet. In the shoe section near shoes laces and stuff. Cost was $15.
It's not listed on their website, but I got it from one of their clearance stores.

Thanks for everyone's suggestions. Found everything I needed.

E6000 (Shoe goo) from Spotlight
Plasterboard (Drywall) tape from Bunnings
Clear Gorilla tape from Bunnings just to give it a try.

Well $34 of glue didn't go far. Did 4 patch repairs.

And some clear gorilla tape on the outer high points BRCC body to protect it for a little while.

I actually use gorrilla tape on the inside to stiffen parts of the body up as well

It takes about the big 110g tube of shoe goo to do an entire body

Yep I've just put it on the outside high points atm to reduce the amount of wear while I get use to its high centre of gravity or the BRCC. New car and all. Big Rocky rolls over easy on turns. I'll will use some on the inside of one or more of my cars also.

thanks
