An adhesive reccomendation for affxing latex to leather

[CaptainCrunch]

Well, like the topic says, I'm looking to attach a sheet of surgical latex to the flesh side of some leather.

What I'm making is a tobacco pouch for my pipe tobacco. All of the commercial ones I've seen have a latex liner, presumably to keep the tobacco from soaking up leather dyes and the like.

I'm not sure just stictching it in as I close up the sides will keep it there. As in, will it tear loose easily? So I'm going to glue it down. I just don't know what glue will hold latex in place without making the leather rigid.

This is something of a prototype and experiment for me. A chance to practice my sewing skills as well.

Thanks one and all!

Tabacco's pretty horrble stuff.

I think it would eat a natural latex liner. Rot it away in no time.

Maybe try patent leather or something else with a factory plastic finish?

Cheers,

the tobacco pouches I've had and seen had the latex separate from the leather except for at the top, where it was sewn in with the zipper. basically a pouch inside a pouch. it's actually there to keep the tobacco fresher longer by keeping the moisture in. btw something tht will help with that is to use a humidifier disc or brick in the pouch.

Really, sewing works fine then? I'll give that a try.

I'm not going to worry as much about humidification on this version. This pouch is mainly for taking 1-2 pipefulls out for an evening on the town. Well, that and practice sewing and so on.

Thanks!

btw, what thickness latex are you using?

I have no idea if this would work or not.....but instead of latex, have you considered other 'modern' materials like vinyl? It should sew pretty well, depending on thickness, and since it's a plastic should hold moisture well.

....Not to mention keep your tobacco from tasting like a rubber glove!

Sorry, I was out all weekend or I'd've responded sooner.

Good lot of suggestions. I suppose I'll get a sample of each type of material to play with (latex and vinyl) and use a pinch of tobacco to test them.

Once I've decided what I'm doing, I'll post it to the relevant subforum.

Thanks again!

There's always Liquid latex...Might work???
