Tandy Id Case Kit

[johnggrg]

I recently aquired a bag full of old Tandy ID case kits. I was reading the instructions on putting them together and was stumped. It said to sew together then slide the window into pocket? What holds that plastic in place?? It said nothing about gluing it or anything. So how do you keep it in place inside the pocket window? John

I didn't post because I was not positive...

I think it just friction fits. It simply fills the area.

I'm pretty sure he's right, just a friction fit. I've not made that particular kit, but a similar kit made by someone else and the window was just sort of slid in. I didn't like that, so I scuffed the edges of the acetate so the glue would bind to it, and cemented it into place (after the tooling and dying and before the stitching). I think it worked, or at least the person I gave it to hasn't said anything about it coming loose.

Yes, friction holds it in place. I use some other stuff and glue it to my leather.

Easier to replace when it gets all scuffed up or yellow if you just slide it in. Glued in is a job to get out without damaging the leather.
