gun case lining

[Luke Hatley]

Got an old gun case in to do some re burbish & repair. the lining has came loose

on the inside. the lining was never sewn on the closer part. it looked to me like it was glued

to some type of thin paper board then glued to the leather. anyone have an idea what type

of paper that is.

i do not think that the lining just glued to the leather will work.

any sugestions.

NRA had a gun calendar one year of presidential guns. Harry Truman had a home made gun case that looked like it was carefully handmade / homemade, and was carefully and lovingly lined with an an old wool shirt. Anyway it looked awesome.

soooo... how is the best way to attach the pile lining or will contac glue

hold the lining in place.

What about some type of ribbon/strip? You could whip stitch the shearling (presuming you're using shearling) to the strip and then glue that to the leather so you have a denser surface for the glue. You also get a clean-ish edge instead of variable thickness wads of shearling(?) Use a thread that closely matches the color of the liner and it'll be nearly invisible.

Option 2. Add a new stitch line next to the closure. ?
