Sounds like something is wrong with the finish. Did you apply the finish thick? -

How Is Best Way To Upholster A Motorcycle Seat
Colt W Knight replied to Jj5685's topic in How Do I Do That?
great toolinig and artwork. My brother asked me to make him a motorcycle seat for his harley I really want to, but I have no idea how to upholster the seat. I can handle the artwork and tooling. -
Ive used a lot of Super 77 to hold pieces together to make sewing easier.I have seen those edges separate, even with stitching. Never seen Weldwood contact cement come apart when properly applied and dried. I use 77 when I just want to hold something in place for sewing. If I actually want to glue something together, I use Weldwood contact cement. 77 is way more convenient, but I don't think it bonds near as well as Weldwood.

? (Abc) To My New Singer 45K25
Colt W Knight replied to hyttogpine's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
I don't know if this would work on a sewing machine, but on other machinery and firearms that have had years of gunk built up, I clean it with a few cans of carburater cleaner. really gets rid of the gunked up grease in the hard to reach areas. -
Consew 206Rb-5 For "light" Leather Work
Colt W Knight replied to mrfjones's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
I have a Consew 206, and I sew everything from felt up to 3/8" leather. Love this machine for what it is, but now that I am getting into more involved projects like holster and gunbelts, I need more capacity and a cylinder arm. -
Thanks Rohn

Gluing Pigskin Lining To Leather
Colt W Knight replied to aldebaran1981's topic in All About Leather
Best glue I have ever used for leather - You can buy it at any hardware store, and even wal mart. Comes in a few ounce jar, pint, quart or gallon containers. Spray glue works for a lot of applications, and its a lot easier and cleaner to apply than contact cement. However, whenever I do something with a big fold or I dont want leather edges to separate, I use contact cement. http://www.homedepot.com/p/DAP-1-gal-Weldwood-Original-Contact-Cement-207534/203661572 -
Just finished building this reliced dakota red guitar for a fellow, and I always like to include a leather strap with the guitar.

How Can I Go From Tracing Or Vellum Paper To Leather?
Colt W Knight replied to Jack55's topic in How Do I Do That?
I trace over the drawing with a stylus, and in fine picture carvings, I use the point of my modeling spoon. -
Needle Won't Pick Up Bobbin Thread
Colt W Knight replied to Rowdybarn's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Does the 205 have a reset button like the 206 on the flat bed? Its a silver button you hold down, and turn the pulley to line everything up.
