Members jakeamon1 Posted January 28, 2010 Members Report Posted January 28, 2010 What is the best leather adhesive to form a permanent bond between 2 pieces. I would like to laminate a thinner piece of leather to a thicker. This would be for dog collars, so it would need to be flexible. Quote
Ambassador abn Posted January 28, 2010 Ambassador Report Posted January 28, 2010 Jake, some people (myself included) prefer the white glues, like Tandy's Leather Weld. Advantages: you don't have to coat both pieces of leather, no nasty smell, and it takes a while to dry so you can reposition if necessary. Overall, white glues are easier to use and more forgiving. However, if strength of the bond is the most important thing, I believe contact cement is the best option. One more thing... Regardless of the glue used, stitching the two pieces of leather together will always add a lot more strength. Good luck! -Alex Quote
