My friends and I have an ongoing debate about what holds the rubber on the 
soles of your shoes together.  I say it is some sort of chemical and they 
say that when melted it just forms into a mold.  It all started when a 
piece of a friends shoe tore away.  Please help end this debate. I would 
greatly appreciate it, we cannot find the answer anywhere!
