Awesome video!

Thank you, I learned so much and I have to reiterate what you said. It is so important, to have proper ventilation. I don't know why there's guys out there that are not wearing proper respirators, have a vent or at least have a fan going. They must be the glue eaters you were speaking of 😂

I used this method for the first time this weekend on a belt and a wallet and it worked way better then the pot and brush method I had been using. Better edges and no smell at all with my exhaust fan. I’ve been us way to much glue with the brush I realize now.

Good gosh, what a great education right here. Please keep the videos coming. Huge tip here on the Weldwood, etc. I have tried many other adhesives thus far and have not been all that impressed. This one can't be any worse, and might be a big winner. I appreciate the tip.

I enjoyed the video. Do you teach saddle making?

[@SlickbaldCustoms]

I've been to a saddle school, but no. I am primarily a holster and sheath guy. I do have a lot of educational material out there and videos to come. Thanks for checking me out!
