claybuster101 Report post Posted March 18, 2009 Hello Everyone.... I saw a post regarding the use of Elmers glue for bonding 2 pieces of leather together. One of the comments dealt with squeaky leather. Being new I am not familiar with all the things that can and do happen to our finished goods after they get into the hands of the end user. Evidently when the glue that is supposed to be bonding the leather dries out or weakens, it can cause the 2 pieces to rub and create a squeak. This is a technique that I use to repair patches and some seams on Zodiacs and other inflatable boats. Using a equine syringe (I get mine from TSC) put a small amount of glue in the syringe and in the case of leather I would go from the backside of the holster and find the void where the glue bond failed. Insert the needle, moving it around 360* if possible, injecting the glue (slowly) and working the needle back out of the insertion hole. There will no doubt be a little left over, oozing from the hole. Let the glue stand for a few minutes (not long enough to set up hard) press or squeeze the repair, wiping off the excess as it continues to ooze out. Normal curing times will apply, I like to use a heat gun on the boat material, but I would think a 60-100w light bulb would help to "set' the repair. I want to thank everyone who has responded to all the pm's and took their time to answer my questions. Dennis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
