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

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

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.

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.

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?

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.

glue will ease the stress off the stitching. knee pads are a pretty serious thing. The stitching will also help keep the sides of the patch tight and uniform. you also want to smooth the leather (edge) down along the edges so the corner of the patch doesn't try to roll from grabbing onto the floor.

@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!

Hi, Leigh! Yes, Barge cement will work for applying a patch, and you would need to apply the cement to both the patch and the area you're applying it to. However, it will rub off eventually. The patch will last longer if you stitch it on (in addition to gluing it). Thanks for your question! Good luck, and let us know if you have more questions :)

I am making a notebook with leather, its a little on the thin side so I was thinking of placing a sheet of felt on the inside, would rubber cement be good to use to keep the pieces flexible but still stuck together good?
@SpringfieldLeather6 жыл бұрын
Hey, there! For this project, you could apply light coats of contact cement (like Master's Contact Cement, springfieldleather.com/Cement-Contact-Masters-4oz) or a spray adhesive, like 3M Super 77 Spray Adhesive. Both of these options should offer the flexibility you want while keeping the pieces together. Hope this helps, and happy crafting! :)

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.
@SpringfieldLeather10 жыл бұрын
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.

Can you tells us about the glue. Which one is better for leather.

It really depends on what type of leather you are glueing.

+Austin Nevarez Contact cement is what we would still recommend. Either Masters or Barge will get the job done! Liz

My secondhand exotic boots came with a rip in the snakeskin layer and, after wearing, it got bigger. Even worse is that it's on the outer side of the boot. I was hoping on having a nice pair of boots to wear and am heartbroken they ended up just like the ones I was trying to replace. I cannot afford an expensive repair shop. I used adhesives on my old boots in the past, but they get hard, stiff and come out of where I put it, getting all over the face. Please help.

Did you have any luck yet? I don't know if you'e able to get behind the rip, but if you can, you could glue a piece of scrap leather behind it using 'Shoe Goo'. That stuff is awesome!!! Has 10/10 in review I just read, and have used it myself. Happy gluing! ;-I
