I am in the process of making a rope can. I want to be sure the leather sticks to the can and doesn't move. Would ya'll suggest glue or epoxy to make sure it stays down for the long haul? Thanks!

I rough up the can first. I use two thin layers of contact cement on the leather and one on the can. I let the second layer almost dry, hit it with some heat to tack up and stick down. I weight them at least overnight.
