Schaefer Edge Coating Machine for Leather

[@braddobson2060]

I have spent many years working with water based contact cement and to me this looks like a very bad idea

This is a proven machine that has been used successfully in leather production facilities for many decades. We have used it in our own production facility for years in the production of purses. The commercial water based contact cements we used are for production facilities and the contact cement remains tacky for days so leather parts can be assembled at a much later time. They are not contact cements that you can buy at a hardware store. We used to spend half a day applying contact cement to large quantities of leather parts. We would put the glued pieces on racks and then over the next few days attach the leather pieces together when we had time. The Schaefer Machine Co. has been manufacturing these machines in USA for many decades for factories. We also used it to apply contact cement to #8 YKK nylon coil zippers. This is a video of our own 8 inch edge coating machine. You can also see a demo from the manufacturer on a smaller machine at kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWXJYaWAortqaqc
