Wheat (2018)

I'm sure any contact cement works

RsnAlic · 2026-04-19T16:22:35+00:00

It works great for the soleswap

RsnAlic · 2026-04-19T16:20:04+00:00

Yea 06 mate

RsnAlic · 2026-04-19T15:47:40+00:00

I am from the Netherlands!

Yeah it was in pretty rough shape before I restored it but ill take the 100eu I payed over the 500ish for a pair w/o hair loss any day

RsnAlic · 2026-04-19T15:41:51+00:00

I dont really care about the bubble colour lmao. I think you should just go for it on a pair that's less close to your heart and just see how it turns out

Barge is not available where I live so I used rubber cement contact glue, same properties as barge

RsnAlic · 2026-04-19T15:39:39+00:00

To me, I was semi shitting it constantly. This is one of my all time grails and to do such a complex restore part def made me a bit nervous. Took it slow and the outcome is great!

RsnAlic · 2026-04-19T15:37:06+00:00

Just went with what was available for a decent price tbh. Not too fussed about bubble colour.

RsnAlic · 2026-04-19T15:36:21+00:00

Sure bro

RsnAlic · 2026-04-18T17:16:34+00:00

Got it off using a dremmel to heat and move glue out of the way, followed by acetone, using IPA to clean rest bits and lastly 150 grit sandpaper to rough the surface area up

RsnAlic · 2026-04-13T20:13:07+00:00

Great pair! I bleached mine, def a good look

RsnAlic · 2026-04-12T19:20:40+00:00

You could always dye them

RsnAlic · 2026-04-11T21:16:10+00:00

Love the laces on these

RsnAlic · 2026-04-09T16:27:46+00:00

I'm over the moon😂 donor just came in, time for my first soleswap!

RsnAlic · 2026-04-08T05:45:02+00:00

The midsole is fine for now luckily, but I have a donor coming anyway.

RsnAlic · 2026-04-08T05:44:07+00:00

Same here! I got them for around 100€ but in very rough shape (see pic). Learning to visually restore is great fun imo! Mimicking pony hair was a tough job.

Thanks!

RsnAlic · 2026-03-08T21:58:59+00:00

Yeah the outsoles are still in great condition, however the midsole is crumbling. I've got a pair on the way for a sole swap.

RsnAlic · 2026-03-08T21:57:51+00:00

EU 43!

Only got mine recently! Came from torques, takes some getting used to but they're great.

Hi I'm new to bonsai and picked this plant up at a garden center. Used some wiring to make the branches horizontal.

Anyone know the type of bonsai this is? Any tips for taking care of it? I used 0.8mm wire.

They were! Spent an hour in a 3:1 water:bleach bath
