Not sure what he's talking about with "glue made for wood." Woodweld has been the best contact cement I ever used. Yes, once dry it will rip the leather off when trying to remove it. I use it for filigree too.

[@BillyBlaze7]

i think the thing with contact cement is figuring out the magic amount of time it takes to make it work....too soon and it can slide on ya and takes hours to dry, too long and it loses all sticking power and you have to redo it all over and with the cost of glue thats the one you really dont want. I was using S-18 and honestly do like it the best but you do have to do both sides but i think this is mainly do to the consistency of the glue being thinner than say for instance Barge. Barge, I have been able to get items to stick with only putting glue on one surface, but thats using it straight out of the can without weakening it with a thinner. I like the S-18 for most stuff and the Barge when I really am worried about something sticking and holding....but with the price jump of S-18, im using Barge exclusively. You either HAVE to wear a respirator with Barge or do it outside, you will get really sick off the fumes

[@SpringfieldLeather]

First off you should know NOT to mold kydex and the leather at the same time. As far as the glue goes, we really haven't found a good glue that will work...but the best we have found is a vinyl glue. We are working on carrying it, but currently don't.

I need to glue cowhide (rough on one side, fur on the other) to an upholstered leather recliner. The cowhide is a decorative patch that I'm using to cover a 19" rip in the backrest of the recliner, which I have sewn shut. Which adhesive could I use that won't bleed through into the fur? I'd prefer if the bond were strong enough to be load-bearing when I lean my recliner back, but I'm willing to sew if I have to.

[@SpringfieldLeather]

Hi, Jackson! Contact cement would work well. Apply light coats to the chair and the patch. Reading the instructions on the contact cement will also help you with the process. If you want the patch to withstand weight and time, stitching it would be best! Thanks for your question, and hope this helps. :)

[@JacksonValencia]

Thanks! I attached it with contact cement and I plan to sew it on later!

[@osk6580]

Good video here by Rusty- but I do have a question ?? the video basically shows how to glue leather to leather, mostly with contact cement. My question is can you use this Barge contact cement to glue leather to rubber ?? Also is there a cement for rubber to rubber ? I'd like to fix a couple pairs of running shoes I have, and the soles have separated from the top of the shoe -any suggestions ??

[@SpringfieldLeather]

Hello Grant! Great question. Contact cement essentially works by binding itself together. That is why it has be put on both sides of the material. It should work quite well on rubber as the cement would be able to stay on the surface very well. Just be sure to give it time to dry for the best adhesion.

[@satriobiangkerok]

Hi, great video and thanks for leather knowledge.. i'm beginner in leatherworks, i want to ask; what kind of glue if i want to stick piece of fabric on flesh side leather? So it would be leather in outside, and fabric on interior side. I saw a good wallet on etsy,and wonder how to make it.. thanks again, and good day

[@SpringfieldLeather]

Hi! Thanks for watching! I would recommend contact cement or a spray adhesive. Apply the adhesive in light layers so that it doesn't bleed through the fabric. Good luck, and thanks for your question! :)

[@danielahereid6697]

Any special brand of spray adhesive you recommend?

[@pequodexpress]

If I don't have access to the recommended thinner for Barge, which thinner would work best: xylene, naptha, MEK substitute, or mineral spirits?

[@SpringfieldLeather]

***** Our Masters Contact Cement would work fine for that application. Just make sure you don't miss any spots!

[@joeygonzo]

Barge contact cement GEL can be thinned with Mineral Spirits.

[@lf4882]

I desperately need your advise. I bought a clear "superglue" to seal the seams together of a brown leather briefcase. The gentleman at the store told me it would dry clear, which is what I needed. Unfortunately, I took his word for it and used it on the briefcase. It did not dry clear. It dried white. I tried to squeeze the glue as far into the seam as I could. However, some of it shows on the edge. How can I remove this superglue from the leather without damaging it. I've tried nail polish remover with Acetone. Looks good until it dries. Then it turns white again. I appreciate your adivse.

[@terrybenton4137]

Great video needing help what cement would you suggest for leather to plastic panel pieces in my car need to know as soon as you can that would be awesome thanks

[@jamesthe-doctor8981]

@Terry Benton I'm not sure you'll get an answer from this channel on an 8-year-old video, so I'll offer my advice and hope it helps you. The biggest problem with gluing plastic to virtually everything is its lack of porosity - adhesives can't soak into it because it has no pores for adhesives to "grab on" to. However, if you can rough up the surface of the plastic to be glued to the leather it can usually be done fairly well. It's the same reason why painters use sandpaper on a very smooth surface to rough it up - so that it has something to hold on to. But if your plastic piece is transparent, the scratches will be quite visible through it. You can try contact cement with it roughed up like that, and if that doesn't work well enough you may need to use something stronger and *MUCH* more permanent such as a two-part epoxy. The two parts consist of a resin and a hardener of which you mix equal parts, then apply to the things you need to adhere to each other. Most importantly if you tried a different adhesive first, you absolutely *MUST* remove all traces of it before moving on to something else. You have to always assume that any new adhesive won't work unless your surfaces are spotlessly clean! Good luck, and if you try either of these, please let me know here how it works out!

[@TealCheetah]

Very useful, thank you.

[@robertwoodard8912]

Very informative video. My poor hearing let me down after repeated attempts to get the name of the second adhesive. It sounds like Knell weld, but numerous googles haven't found it and I couldn't find it on your website. Please help me out with the name. Thank you

Hi, Robert! Thanks for your question! The product is "neoweld", which you can find here: springfieldleather.com/Cement-Neoweld-4-oz . This one's the 4 oz., but you can look for different sizes, based on how much adhesive you need for your projects. Hope this helps--happy crafting! :)

[@michaelpcooksey5096]

Any chance you can grab a throw-away leather piece of furniture, strip it and experiment with the material? You may want to not patch so much as completely replace the worn side. Will need disassembly and then careful re-sewing. Most leather furniture we've seen nowadays uses real leather on prime visual and contact surfaces but employs cheaper Artificial leather of same color on backsides. Small sliver of material applied to flame will tell you if it's petroleum based or hide (smells like burning hair). Good Luck.

[@UberLummox]

@@michaelpcooksey5096 Thank you so much for the reply! Ya know you're probably right about the back piece not being real leather. That may have fooled me. I'll find out tonite (@ girlfriends). Thanks for the advice. I may still try it if it's real leather as she'll toss it out if it doesn't work. I'll cut as big of a piece as I can from the back and wrap it around all 4 sides hopefully (if it's back is leather) Thanks again!!!

[@SpringfieldLeather]

Hi Mari, Unfortunately, there isn't a fix for this problem. You would have to chisel the glue off which inevitably is going to damage the finish on your leather. No solution is going to take it off. The only advise I have at this point is to use an acrylic paint that it the same color as your bag and try to cover it up. Sorry I don't have better news.

I wanna to add rhinestones on my leather boots. I usually use E6000. Do you have any advice on a better glue? Need something that does not dry immediately (so stones can be moved if necessary) and also dries clear.

Since you are wanting something that does not adherer immediately, E6000 will probably stay your best option. We really like the HotFix crystals that have the adhesive on the back but those aren't exactly removable after they are placed.

[@SpringfieldLeather]

Unfortunately, at this point it is kind of "try and see". It will all depend on the leather and the finish it has on it. If it doesn't pull the finish off when you take the patch off you can sometimes take an eraser to it and get the rest of the glue up but there isn't a guarantee. Sorry.

So I have done most of my Inside cab of my truck with Distressed pigskin leather (worn look with a oil rub that darkens areas) I had glued my windshield pilars that are plastic with the leather using wood glue and a modeling type cement and gave the plastic a scuff and scuffed the back of the leather with rubbing alcohol to reduce the oils ..it seem to work (90%) and later in the sun and heat it dryed up and came off ....i have looked into the glues more and it boils down to Gorllia glue for leather (heat and cold wet proof) or Barge which is well known with shoe makers and leather.. This is why i done the pillars and not the seats yet..Eazy to fix the pilliars.. 40 hours of glue and sew on each seat

Thank you very much for that great information, Rusty. Could you please help me with my current conundrum? I got a leather portfolio bag made but didn't have my metal (brass or stainless steel) labels ready. I assumed I could just stick them on with some adhesive after it was complete however it seems I was wrong. The bag is now finished and I cannot sew or rivet the labels onto the bag. I now have three options 1) Go with the original plan to stick the metal right onto the leather surface. Is there any glue out there which can do that? 2) Take a leather piece only a few millimeters larger than the metal label and rivet the label onto that piece of leather. Now, can I use something to stick that piece of leather onto the bag's surface? As you mentioned in your video, even this seems to be a problem. You showed the little red flower stuck onto the other leather surface and it peeled right off. 3) Use a small piece of any other material apart from leather to rivet the label to. Then stick that material onto the top of the leather. Is this possible?

[@SpringfieldLeather]

GtubeVideos What does the inside of the bag look like? Is there a liner? What type of leather is it made out of? Is it an oily leather? If you could send some pictures to me I could get a little better of an idea of what we're dealing with. My email address is [e-mail] I look forward to hearing from you! Liz

[@vicwojcik9125]

What do you mean clog up the needle ? Where the thread goes thru ?

[@photoartteacher903]

No - what happens with sewing machines and any type of glue is the glue sticks to the needle and then that glue gets into the bobbin area under the sewing machine and it gums up areas that are very precisely sized to fit only a thread - you could probably clean old metal machines with kerosene to remove the glue but modern plastic ones maybe not ?? if the glue build up gets so bad as to "jam" the bobbin parts it might even bend small metal parts from the force of the machines motor

I want to add Velcro to leather without stitching it (so it won't show on the other side). Would neoweld be good for that?

[@SpringfieldLeather]

Hello! Unfortunately, I don't have a positive answer for you. You didn't mention your application but a "glue only" situation for anything that will experience stress will most likely not be happy. Glue is great for keeping things in place or being an extra security but you really need a stitch or rivets, something that doesn't break down over time. Velcro really needs to be stitched in place.

[@SpringfieldLeather]

JAY LOVER There really isn't a good way to know how the glue will react with the leather if you try to remove it. It all depends on the type of leather. Sometimes taking something like this apart will take the finish off the leather, sometimes that is fixable sometimes it isn't. or you could rip the leather, it is really just going to come down to trial and error. Sorry.

[@lamachine991]

great video, what glue would work for leather, rubber and fabric that is permanent and a contact cement?

[@SpringfieldLeather]

+Robert Rohan Unfortunately, there isn't a good all for one glue. Especially when it comes to fabric. You have to have a glue that isn't going to penetrate through the fabric and a lot of your leather glues will. But for leather and rubber Barge or Masters Contact Cement will work great.

[@tuongvannguyen8784]

what type of glue work good for crystal to leather?

[@SpringfieldLeather]

Nothing is going to be great for this application. Because leather is flexible it almost doesn't matter what glue you use they will pop off eventually. E6000 is a flexible glue, but has to set for awhile before it is cured. Depending on what you are doing you may consider Crystal Rivets as an alternative.
