RSCN2187Wow, Barge Cement is really... fragrant.  I read all the warnings in the book and on the tube, and worked outside, and I still had watery eyes.  Be warned.

You can also make the usual rubber cement snot balls. Be warned.

The padding and shanks are in. The heels are covered.  One extra step I thought I'd read, but now can't find, is to stick the outer fabric to the felt.  I feel I have to do this because the fabric is floppy and the sole and heel basically are only going to be adhered around the edges to the outer fabric.  This might be because I didn't understand the instructions for constructing the upper layers and they are in the wrong order.

I also tried to shape the heels a little bit with my Dremel sanding drum.  We'll see what they look like.  Heels would be another great thing to make with a 3D printer (and a 3D scanner?).
