chouinardragon Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rubber cement is for temporary glueing ( you can take it apart ) and contact cement is for permanent glueing. Hope this helps / Knut Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
