But for lining an already cut-to-size piece, does anyone have any suggestions on how to trim the liner effectively?

What I will do in this case, is cut a piece of lining about 1/2" bigger than needed, apply glue to both pieces and attach together. I will "roll" the two pieces with a metal roller I have and allow to dry for a while. Once they are dry, I just use my scissors and cut off the excess. Works great and leaves a nice edge.

I still and most likely always will recommend the Lepages Pres-Tite Green glue, it is so much easier and cleaner to use.

Sorry I didn't see this sooner. The best glue I have found for adhering fabric to leather, or even leather to leather is "Lepages Pres-Tite Green" contacvt cement. This is a 100% solvent free glue so it's also non-toxic, you can use it in the kitchen and no foul odors or anything. If you accidently get a bit too much an anything, you can just rub it and it will ball right up and not leave any marks.

I use this glue on all my leatherwork, vests, hats, you name it. The real nice thing is that it does not "Bleed" through the fabric like most contact cement does, or like a spray glue if you accidently spray too much.

Hello! I would love to use Lepages green contact cement, but I think it is only found in Canada, as I can find it nowhere online, only Canadian hardware stores, and the product can only be ordered for pick up.

Would you or anyone else happen to know if the Weldwood non-flammable contact cement (green label) is similar?

Yes the Weldwood Green label is pretty much the exact same thing. Here's a link to Lowes page that lists it: http://www.lowes.com/pd_41159-68-25332_0__?productId=3033214&Ntt=contact+cement&pl=1&currentURL=%3FNtt%3Dcontact%2Bcement&facetInfo=
