Renia Colle de Cologne vs Syntic Total a Superfix

[Yukonrookie]

Hello folks,

I’m about to order some contact adhesive again and am debating between the above mentioned options from Renia. Although I’m pretty set on one of the above, I’m open to good alternatives.

It’s gonna be used for sheaths, the odd holster, belts, hopefully the odd saddle and such. So it’ll have to withstand some wet moulding. Although the wet moulding I do would be more on the “light” to “medium” side. 

I will also say upfront that I contacted Renia and they recommended one of the above mentioned ones. So some would wonder why I still ask this question. Well, I’d like to know what experience those of you who used some or all of these contact adhesives made.  I’d like a really strong bond with some resistance to water. 
 

I was a bit concerned people would get annoyed with me for asking this question, when I already got a recommendation from the manufacturer. I’ll take my chances anyways  . These glues aren’t cheap and I personally don’t think it hurts to try and find out more about what and why people ,who actually used them, prefer one glue over the other.  
 

I appreciate you taking the time to read my post and possibly even give some feedback. It’s greatly appreciated.

Why not good old fashion LePage Heavy Duty contact cement??? I use it all the time, readily available, smells terrible, usually requires two coats with the first soaking into and sealing the leather and the second coat, once the first coat is dry, for bonding and can be thinned.
