Members Egraham Posted April 5, 2012 Members Report Posted April 5, 2012 Just wondering what success you've had gluing crystals onto leather? I have both E600 & E9000 cement glues... would you reccomend using either of thoes or is there something better out there? How sturdy are they.. or will they just fall off after a short while? Thanks. Quote Good things come to thoes who wait. Good things come to thoes who work thier asses off and never give up!!!
Moderator Art Posted April 5, 2012 Moderator Report Posted April 5, 2012 Not long for this world. Crystals are usually sold and applied like spots, they are in a carrier that looks like a spot and applies using the same tools. See Weaver Catalog for more info.

I do, however, cut out an area of the leather, attach a backing of 1/32" birch plywood under the cut-out and epoxy the stone in place to the backing. I then line the entire item with thinner leather, covering the back side of the birch plywood to finish. Example.
