Waterproofing, And Glue

Recommended Posts

I just purchased " BLACK Cow hides 2 oz Leather sides Satin Finish". I plan to cover a fiberglas motorcycle tourpack (like a saddlebag) with it.

What would be the best glue to use for this?

Also, what is the best way to waterproof this leather?

I use Barge contact cement on the leather wrapped side covers I make and it holds up really well. Make sure to coat both the leather and bags with a good coat, allow to 'dry' and then stick them together. Make sure you have a good way to line things up one the glue is applied because it's a bear to get the leather back off once the two pieces stick together. Rub down to flatten any bubbles and smooth it out and let sit for half a day or so. They should be rock solid after that.

Cheers,

Chris
