Best Glue For Leather To Metal?

Recommended Posts

we are about to use some scrap stingray hides to make cuff bracelets. I got some aluminum cuff blanks to use. What would be the best glue to permanently attach the leather to the metal? Would an pseudo-epoxy like E6000 be better than contact cement?

The epoxy may be the best as most cement don't adhear to metel very well. Be sure to scuff up the metal with 80 grit sandpaper or use a grinding wheel esp. if it has a crome or galvized coating.

+1 to Randy's response. scuff the metal and most expoxies won't let go. Gorilla Glue also came out with a non-expanding white glue last year that I have been having good luck with. Very strong but less mess than the original.
