Hey Chuck, good tip on the upside down contact glue storage. Better yet, if you coat the threads of the cap or can with a little petroleum jelly, the cement won’t stick and the cap never gets stuck! I put a little on the top of the can too so I can easily wipe off any glue that got on the can while I was using it.

Great tip! You might want to clean the screw threads on the lid and on the can after each use. You’ll be able to open the can like it was brand new every time. Just like you always say new project, new blade. It’s just a matter of housekeeping every time you use the rubber cement. Just use a “dry” paper towel or a rag to wipe the threads clean and you’re good to go.

These videos are a great source of information! I do have one more question about contact cement: When I have joined a few layers of leather with contact cement, I wait a while and then chisel holes for stitching. But how long to wait? I worry that extracting the chisel from several layers will pull the edges apart a little. So I’m thinking that there are two ways to go: 1-to chisel not long after glueup and then hammer the edges down again afterwards, or 2-let the cement cure fully and not chisel the holes for a day or two.

Hi Chuck Great Info. I've been storing my Gallon paint cans upside down for 30 years, NEVER fails to open easily. Same goes for Varnish cans. A question on a different part of your video. When would it EVER be acceptable to use just glue ( contact or otherwise) and NOT stitch the glued item! You're the only person that I ever heard say that it's OK just to use glue in certain instances. I'm no Pro Leather worker, but I can't think of any place that just glue alone would be an adequate adhesion. Thanks. Stoney

I use the "glue only" method for several jobs: The most common is for tool holders in the shop, but it's also indispensable for inlaying Leather into stuff such as Coasters, etc, because you can't really see through wood, and Tacks, unless you incorporate them into the design, look, well, "tacky".

I guess I'm still confused on exactly when you would want to use white/wood glue and why. I've used Barge for a couple of years now when I sew a seem on a holster/sheath/etc.. I mean, even if it's being sewed you still want it to be permanent don't you? or is my amateur brain missing something? I just found this channel by the way and I've been loving all your content. thanks.

Hello, You can certainly use a contact cement when sewing but you really just need the glue to bond your pieces together to then stitch it. Your sewing and stitching will then become your permanent bond. If you are not sewing then you definitely want to use the contact cement. Hope this helps and thank you for watching!

It does look somewhat similar to Fiebing's Antique Finish but that is usually used to fill in tooled and stamped areas on leather. You could try it, just wipe it with a cotton rag instead of with solvent to get the grained texture. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you!

Martyn, in the case of the cotton, is this a fabric or something like a ticking? The white glue should work nicely. Leather is a great medium for just about any adhesive. As long as the project isn’t in the weather (where the white glue will re-constitute) you should be fine with the cotton and the paper board! If the cotton is a little too thin and you worry about some seepage, you may want to go with a contact cement. Not totally sure here, but that’s one of my go-tos for gluing. No water issues and it will be there forever.

@@WeaverLeatherSupply strictly with glue and the problem is I don't want to use glues with strong chemicals or odors only because I have a heart condition and I also have a bad immune system so to say so I'm trying to use something that's more human friendly I did however Bond a piece of this leather to the leather using just leather cement and it's been 3 days now and I even soaked in water for 10 minutes and I still have a strong bond I do not know if the aquilim 315 is going to be the same I'm supposed to get it today in the mail and I do not know if once after wearing them outside if it will start to loosen up

Thank you for clarifying, I spoke to a few people here at Weaver and we have been very impressed with their products so you should get a really good bond with this product. Without doing testing on your specific application we can't say that yes, it will 100% give you the bond you are looking for but it is comparable to Barge Cement which has one of the best bonds out there for leather. Hope that helps and I hope the product works out for you!

Hi Karryn, You should be able to use it if you don't need a permanent bond but I haven't actually tried it so I would recommend testing it out first on some scrap.

Hello, you guys helped me out in the past so i decided to ask you another question regarding an issue i have been having with my leather, the issue i have is when i put the edge of my knife sheath on the belt sander to even out the edges for beveling, the belt sander rips out bits of leather on the edge where it should be nice and smooth for the beveling. My sander never used to do this, only two things have changed since i used the sander last, i changed one brand of contact cement to 'Synteline contact cement' and also the belt on the belt sander is now more used then before, could one of those be a contributing factor to the edge ripping while im sanding it? Any help is greatly appreciated because this is leaving my edges looking very ugly....

That is a tough question! The only thing I can think of is the glue is not entirely flexible and, therefore, the sander is taking out pieces of glue and the glue, in turn, takes some leather with it. That must be incredibly frustrating! This is just a guess because I really can’t tell you. The sanding belt, once worn down a bit, should give you a really nice edge, and, if there was a burr on the belt it would be long gone. I would go back to the glue you’ve used in the past and, with a test piece, try some sanding and see if that part of the process is the issue. This isn’t much of an answer, but, I hope it helps in some way.

can we use synthetic resin adhesive on leather?
@WeaverLeatherSupply
@WeaverLeatherSupply 6 жыл бұрын
I haven’t used a synthetic resin, but, leather is an incredible medium for glue because of the porous nature. The only thing I would watch is the flexibility of the resin once dry. That would be the deciding factor for me. Try it and let us know how it goes! I would be anxious to hear!

Can we restore cracked leather? How?
@WeaverLeatherSupply
@WeaverLeatherSupply 5 жыл бұрын
Hi Ezermaine, Unfortunately, because leather is made of fibers, once the fibers are broken and cracked they can't really be mended. If they are small cracks or scratches you can clean and condition the leather so that the fibers out around the crack remain healthy and thus the leather won't continue to crack but it won't eliminate the existing crack. If the cracks are large, there isn't a whole lot you can do to mend them. Hope this helps!

Is there a way to get the cement to last longer for us weekend hobbists? Also, I see that Barge has a cement thinner... Will that work on the s-18 too?
@WeaverLeatherSupply
@WeaverLeatherSupply 3 жыл бұрын
Hi there, Yes, the barge thinner will work for the s-18 as well! Thinning it out should help it last for a long time - just add some thinner each time the glue starts thickening up from sitting for a while. Hope that helps!

If you need a good rougher and you are a cheap ass like I am. Use a long screw. You may have to hold it with a bit of cloth or tissue. But you can take your time with it and scrape the hell out of even thin leather and it will not rip through.

Plastic bag? Hell No!! just put a thin smear of petroleum Jelly on the tin threads before you screw the top on, it keeps the tin air tight and removing the top is a dream no need for force.
