Members chouinardragon Posted November 27, 2011 Members Report Posted November 27, 2011 Hi guys, Do you have two glue pots on your workbench? I always see two glue pots in blue and red caps on bag/leather goods craftsman's workbench. I was wondering why they need two kind of glues. Are they water-based glue and rubber cement for different uses? Anyone knows? Chris Quote
Members Kevin Posted November 27, 2011 Members Report Posted November 27, 2011 I have rubber cement in one (temporary) and all purpose contact cement in the other (permanent). Kevin Quote

Members oldtimer Posted November 28, 2011 Members Report Posted November 28, 2011 Thanks, Kevin. What's the difference / purpose between rubber and contact cement??? chris Kevin has answered your question, Chris. Rubber cement is for temporary glueing ( you can take it apart ) and contact cement is for permanent glueing. Hope this helps / Knut Quote
