Glue Question

[serena]

What type of glue would you use to glue leather to a glass? One that you would plan on drinking out of? Super glue? Barge Cement? What kind should I use? The leather looked to be a deer hide or suede (I wasnt able to get an up close look as I was helping another customer). The reason I ask is that I was vending coffee at a renaissance fair this past weekend and a customer had a glass mug with leather that glued to it and it looked really neat. So now I want one.

Barge (or most contact cement will hold it) but I would be very worried about the ability to properly wash it.

Hi... There's a possibility that the leather wasn't glued on. Most glasses are tapered, and if the pc of leather is cut properly, the glass will fit the leather holder quite tightly, and yet be able to be removed for washing. If it's glued on permanently (if that's even possible), then pretty much any contact like Barge or Masters would do ok.

Thanks for help. I found a website that sells mugs like the one that I saw but Im not sure if it is the same seller or not. I would like to make my own mug for personal satifaction.

Here is the site I found:

Your link didn't work, however, with a little bit of deductive reasoning, here's the fixed link...
