Filagree Glue?

Recommended Posts

Howdy folks,

I want to start doing some filagree work on wallets backed with snake or alligator. I'm not sure as to which glue to use though. Barge is a two part glue (glue goes on both pieces till dry. Then pressed together.) So that probably won't work so great. So I would love to hear suggestions and or previous success stories.

Thanks Mike

I have used barge and put a heavy wet coat on the back of the piece, then lay it on the backing piece. Weight it down and leave it for a while. It will stick.

Tanner's Bond works well and dries fairly clear.........and it will not need so heavy a coat

Hmm...not seeing any consistent answer. I guess that leaves it to personal taste. I just want a piece that is going to hold up to daily use.
