Five Ten Stealth Paint - is it worth it???

Is this stuff worth it?? Has anyone tried this?
Does it last??

It's alright, in alot of ways its a solution in search of a problem.

What works for long term durability is to do multiple layers of glue & rubber. When a layer dries, rub off all the loose rubber with your hand, and then add another thin layer of glue and sprinkle rubber on. Don't expect it to patch a rand or anything, but it seemed to work well on fabric sections of heels, or on top where foot jams abrade the fabric.

I've had a fair amount of success with it in the past adding a bit of top rubber to a very old pair of shoes for use in cracks. It's definitely strictly for adding a layer of rubber to a flexible surface, and works fine in that application.

It's definite NOT for doing any kind of repair work with it. It just won't last. A feel like a lot of people buy it to repair the rands on their shoes. It just won't work in that application.

If you're trying to fix a blown toe on a climbing shoe or anything similar then it's a waste of time. If you'd like to add a tie cap on an approach shoe then it's an expensive way to do that. Just pay to get your shoes resoled

Funny this thread is recent and I am wondering the same thing. I have a 'razor-like slit' on the toe of one of my ~good condition TC Pros, after one or two days climbing after noticing it, its degrading fast! I'm having a buddy patch mine up, so hopefully I'll remember this thread and post back.

The original poster didn't mention shoes specifically.

I've wondered how well the paint (or Locker's idea of glue and rubber dust) would work on clothing. In particular, I've thought that having rubber just above the knees, near the hips, and other parts of one's pants or shirt would help for certain climbs (e.g., where one does kneebars, or rests a hip against a dihedral).

Any of you tried this? Does it stick well to cotton?

If it does stick well to the cloth, I'd suppose that the particular patch of clothing would have to be pretty tight fitting for it to help with the climbing moves.

Thanks Locker.

I've seen some of that glue in the local Ben Franklin's. So, I'll just have to check on the rubber dust from the local resoler and then I'll have a fun little experiment to run...
