Instant Jet

I’ve bought this before, and it works amazingly! It makes my pointe shoes so much harder and helps them last longer, which is a huge plus. A little goes a long way, and it dries super fast, so I don’t have to wait forever before wearing my shoes again. It’s definitely a must-have for dancers who want to get more life out of their pointe shoes. I’ll definitely keep using it!

I initially purchased this to put in the toe area of my pointe shoes - I decided to see how well it would work with a couple of regular street shoe repairs as this stuff is a STRONG ADHESIVE. I fixed a pair of sneakers (rubber was coming apart from fabric) as well as a pair of velvet platform shoes (velvet was coming off the platform) - both yielded amazing results - I've worn both pairs of shoes and they're still holding(I had attempted to repair the sneakers before w a diff adhesive and they came apart) - this worked AWESOME in sealing my pointe shoes as well as repairs- WARNING- Be VERY careful and patient as this IS the strongest adhesive I've EVER used - it literally dries in seconds and you do NOT want it getting in your fingers - just as a caution, it creates a chem reaction and feels very warm- that is normal. I will always use Jet from now on! Xx

This is a great "super glue" only a bit easier to handle (albeit it does bond fingers instantly so be very careful). However, I first found out about this product from my daughter who is a ballet dancer. She uses this in her pointe shoes to help stiffen them up. It works amazingly well. You spread the glue on the fabric and leather on the bottom of the shoe and let it dry. Then you put in a bit of talcum powder. The shoes now have extra rigidity and will last longer too. This stuff if really good. (It also happens to make an anti-corrosive layer on whatever you cover with it)

Good for reinforcing pointe shoes

Good value. Daughter uses this to strengthen her pointe shoes.

I got this product to increase the longevity of my pointe shoes and also make the box of them harder (because I need a hard box to get over my shoes and there aren't different box hardness levels on pointe shoes shoes). I learned that you have to open it with a pin, not cut the nozzle with scissors. One of my friends cut hers and it keeps leaking all over her dance bag, so i just stuck a pin in it. It doesn't squirt out as much as hers, but I would rather have less glue than have glue all over my stuff. Now onto the pros and cons. Pros: It's pretty easy to use if you open it right and it dries very hard. You can adjust how much you use to make your shoes harder or not as much. Cons: It smells horrible. It burns my eyes and if you get it on your skin it hurts to get it off. It feels very hot when bonding things together or just drying in general. Overall, if you use it correctly, it works very well, but there seems to be no way of getting around the smell and irritation that comes with it. If it was perfectly natural, had no smell, and was safe for skin, I would love it, but it seems that there is no product like that on the market yet.

Works great. As a groomer having this on hand for emergencies is a must.

I wonder if jet glue has changed their formula. I have used jet glue for years to harden my point shoes. However, my most recent bottles of jet glue that I have gotten have a much thicker consistency. Before it was a pretty thin glue(almost like water) that would easily absorb into my point shoes and harden quickly, but these most recent bottles the glue is too viscous (more like honey) and so it doesn’t seep into my shoes, making it less effective at hardening my shoes and takes significantly longer to dry. I bought this two separate times thinking the first time was just a bad batch. But the second time was just the same. I use hot stuff now instead, it works much better and is more like how jet glue used to be. Maybe it’s ok for other purposes but it’s not good for pointe shoes

Not great price
