good tool for scuffing up leather prior to gluing?

[steveb]

Well about 3 years ago or so, i was feeling fat and bought a real leather roughner for about $30 - after using near all manner of what is described above.

The roughner is superior to all of the devices listed, hands down - its simply the right tool for the job - you still need to be careful with it, but it is a good design

- i used a wire bristle brush and it damn near killed the material i was working on - it was so aggressive -it damn near jumped out of my hands,

sandpaper was ok, but still not right,

garnet paper worked best when glued to a board and slowly worked over the material - but it was a PITA.

just buy the roughner, if you do a moducum of gluing- youll use it often, i know i do

but as always - YMMV
