Members Spyros Posted March 19, 2022 Members Report Posted March 19, 2022 What I'd really want to know, a friend showed me a belt that he's had for 30 years and still uses it frequently. And that belt had no stitching or hardware, just folded and glued for the buckle and that's it. And it still holds... I'd love to know what kind of glue that was. Quote

That glue has probably been outlawed for 29 1/2 years. Quote Hoka Hey! Today, tomorrow, next week, what does it matter?

MtlBiker Posted March 19, 2022 Author Report Posted March 19, 2022 Just my luck... after finding that I REALLY like the Eco-Flo Leather Weld (not their Leather Glue) I placed an order for some more. I just got an email from Tandy (Canada) saying it was now out of stock with no idea of when/if it would be available again. SIGH They suggested I buy their contact cement instead.
