TZHunter Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Posted February 9, 2012 Joe, Thanks for checking even at Lowes. . . and since leatherwork is just a hobby for me, I wouldn't need tons of these...I appreciate this inexpensive/disposable option. fortysomething, thanks for the HarborFreight option...that gets them down to 10 cents if I can get them without shipping...Even on Ebay price there is a lowest cost of about 15 cents/each if you buy 144. Thanks ! Quote
Members triage1998 Posted February 10, 2012 Members Report Posted February 10, 2012 Are the Alco teflon contact cement pots worth it over just the plastic ones? https://www.tandylea...ature=Product_8 Quote Nightingale Leather
Moderator Art Posted February 10, 2012 Moderator Report Posted February 10, 2012 I have two of those I got from Springfield Leather. We use them when we are doing serious production work making the same thing over and over and doing a lot of gluing. As production slows down (we do things that don't require constant trips to the pot), we use the screw plastic ones we got again from Springfield. For Rubber Cement (acid free paper cement) we use amber glass bottles we got once upon a moon from Best-Test, I have since seen them make plastic ones, and can't be sure they still make the glass ones. The bottles seem a little easier to use occasionally, you can pour in a little thinner and shake them up. Not so with the Alco pot, well, I haven't tried anyway.

Members Alex K Posted February 13, 2012 Members Report Posted February 13, 2012 Where can I find an empty bottle with a built-in brush attached to the screw-on lid. .. for spreading Contact Cement more easily? I have found the contact cement sold in a small jar with brush, but would prefer to purchase additional empty bottles/brushes, and refill with contact cement purchased in quart or gallon. Much Thanks ! I thought you were looking for this: Quote
Members ABC3 Posted February 17, 2012 Members Report Posted February 17, 2012 Zack White has what you're looking for. In plastic and in glass. Get the glass bottle. It's easier to clean up. Quote NRA Member Certified Firearms Instructor www.agcustomgunleather.com
