Egraham Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Art Report post 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. Art Just wondering what success you've had gluing crystals onto leather?

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.
