Doc Reaper Posted April 15, 2022 Report Posted April 15, 2022 Is anyone else having trouble finding contact cement? Home Depot and Lowes are about out, did a supply company burn down? DO NOT BLAME PUTIN, he saved the world from the Deep States next virus release Quote
Members Hags Posted April 15, 2022 Members Report Posted April 15, 2022 Getting hard to find here on the Olympic peninsula here in Washington too. I also have to rely on Home depot. I can get the smaller bottles, but really like the quarts. Brandon will say it's a Putin shortage though. Quote
Members Dwight Posted April 15, 2022 Members Report Posted April 15, 2022 Lowes here in Ohio has plenty of it . . . or did last time I looked. And there is always this store: https://www.ebay.com/itm/274078509549?epid=7026733944&hash=item3fd05a29ed:g:uhUAAOSwiGViVpEM A pint goes and awful long way . . . May God bless, Dwight Quote
Members keplerts Posted April 17, 2022 Members Report Posted April 17, 2022 I just got a quart of Barge from Weaver Leather in Ohio. But I can't find any Weldwood at walmart anymore. Quote
Members Spyros Posted April 17, 2022 Members Report Posted April 17, 2022 I just go to the local hardware store and get whatever contact adhesive they have that says on it that will stick leather. In spray if I can, which is my favourite way of gluing leather at the moment. I haven't noticed any shortages. Quote
Members ABC3 Posted June 2, 2022 Members Report Posted June 2, 2022 Weaver Leather has Barge. I have been using Barge Cement for the past 16 years but now having problem with it sticking to leather. I've got some from Springfield leather and it seems to be doing the job. The have contracted an outfit to make it for them. You might want to try it. Quote

I got my hands on 2 gallons of contact cement and refuse to think I wasted cash, I’ll mix it with kids clothing and see if I catch a politician Quote
Doc Reaper Posted June 6, 2022 Author Report Posted June 6, 2022 Great news the company that I had purchased 2 quarts of barge from has returned the money paid. When I told them that there was no holding power. I’m guessing that it was a bad batch. Quote

Doc get some barge thinner also it has saved me many times, IMHO the thinner is a must have, barge is the best of all contact cement IMHO . Quote

Members Chakotay Posted June 8, 2022 Members Report Posted June 8, 2022 Just to throw another option out there: I use Aquilium 315 contact cement almost exclusively for holster and belt linings. It's more expensive, but very strong with the benefits of being water-based, low-odor, and non-toxic. I've become sensitive to the the fumes of the solvent-based cements. Quote

Come on there's nothing like an Industrial high some trichlor 1,1,1 or xylene or toluene , or acetone all good for the high . Just to name a few LOL Quote
Members battlemunky Posted June 8, 2022 Members Report Posted June 8, 2022 I'll throw out Aquilum 315 as an option too but having used them both recently if I had to pick one for some deserted island leathercrafting it'd be Barge alllll day. Quote
Members AlamoJoe2002 Posted June 8, 2022 Members Report Posted June 8, 2022 I use Weldwood manufactured by DAP. I buy it in quarts at Lowes mega hardware/lumber yard. No shortages here in Philadelphia, PA and also use toluene for cleaning and thinning. Quote
Members Bracemaker Posted June 8, 2022 Members Report Posted June 8, 2022 I used Barge for years and then tried Duall-88, 30 years later it's still my preferred adhesive. Get Shoes & Orthotics Repair with Duall-88. Learn More! (rhadhesives.com) Quote
