Phatdaddy Posted September 8, 2011 Report Posted September 8, 2011 If the leather starts talking to you, put the glue away and move to fresh air. LOL! Barge here as well. Quote

Members Rayban Posted September 9, 2011 Members Report Posted September 9, 2011 Barge, Masters or Weldwood! I doubt very seriously that any one is any different than the other....they all do the same job. I've glued flesh to flesh with Weldwood and needed pliers to take them apart....and then destroyed the leather doing it......what more do you need it to do? Quote Raybanwww.rgleather.net
Members Steven Kelley Posted September 9, 2011 Members Report Posted September 9, 2011 The only difference I've seen between Barges and Weldwood is that the Barges seemed to thicken and get "stringy" a lot faster. The climate might have something to do with that. My leather shop is my garage, which is over 100° during the day. Barges would start to thicken and get really messy about the third or fourth time I opened the can. Adding thinner just seemed to make it worse, as far as it being stringy. Weldwood seems to keep the same relative viscosity for a lot longer, and it never really gets "stringy" like Barges. It could all be temperature related, but unfortunately, that's all I have to work from. One other thing I noticed. I have glued two pieces together with Barges, let them sit 20 - 30 minutes, then peeled them apart. I can't do that with Weldwood. It might be a stronger bond, or it might just be that it cures more quickly, I really don't know. Just an observation. I think they will all do the job intended. Quote
dirtclod Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 Barge contact cement for me. I have tired the weldwood and didn't have much luck with it. If you it to dry quicker use a hair dryer and blow on the glued piece. I keep one at the end of my bench and use it mostly in the winter time when the glue is slower to dry.

Moderator Art Posted September 9, 2011 Moderator Report Posted September 9, 2011 Anything Petronio: Master, Petronio, Renia Colle de Cologne, Renia Multi Colle. They all work. You can also use Fiebing's Tanner's Bond, if you prefer PVA (Poly Vinyl Acetate, white glue), it works well also, but you have to clamp it till it dries. Art What would be the best glue to use for glueing a pancack style holster together before stitching? I was considering Gorilla Glue but thought I'd see if there is a better type for use with leather. Thanks Quote For heaven's sakes pilgrim, make yourself a strop!
