A Sticky Question

I used Henry's All Purpose for counter tops, acres and acres of Formica! I use Tanner's Bond from Tandy for leather. It smells about like any other contact cement, but it doesn't bother me. Life is too short to wait overnight for glue to cure.

Funny, but Tandy Canada doesn't list Tanner's Bond other than only the permanent adhesive tape.  I do see the glue on the US site though.  We must have some pretty strict regulations about what glues/solvents can be sold here.  SIGH  Sometimes it is tough to get a product that is easily available in the US.

Tandy Canada carries the Tanner's Bond , and Barge , most of the store will have them in stock. As they are "flammable" the stores have to follow strict regulation as far as shipping goes

Maybe worth checking Renia Aquilim 316 or Aquilim SG

Is that why they only list the Tanner's Bond adhesive tape on their site and not the contact cement?  And from what you say, could it mean they won't ship the contact cement?

In any case, after a bit more testing, I'm really sold on that Eco-Flo Leather Weld stuff (not to be confused with their Eco-Flo Leather Glue).

They ship it through Purolator ... extra fees for flammables. You just have to place your order over the phone and they'll give you the details. The water base contact cement is probably the best next thing

I don't mind the smell. Only once have I gotten a headache from it.

Thanks.  Next time I order from them I'll give that cement a try.  You like it better than say, Lepage Heavy Duty Contact Cement, or Barge?  And give the Eco-Flo Leather Weld a try when you can... I'm finding it really good.

I just go to the hardware store and get water based contact adhesive that says "leather" on the list of items that it will stick.  The most common brand in Australia is Selley's.  Then I water it down until runny because that's how I prefer it for application.  I also use the same stuff in spray for larger surfaces.  And I always have some glue for shoes handy (again from the hardware store) because it never really dries and remains flexible, which makes it good for surfaces that move.  Also it doesn't require application on both surfaces so it's quicker.
