Master Of Mess --When Using Glue----

[zorrow]

I have been using water soluble contact for everything leather. I apply it with disposable acid brushes. What is most important to me is no toxic fumes, can be used indoors around family and no one keels over from bad stink, Brushes wash out with water.

I use both liquid and gel Weldwood contact cement. I apply it with acid brushes bought from Harbor Freight for about 3 or 4 cents each, . . . use and pitch.

I only buy pint cans, . . . so I never have to worry about it drying out.

After applying the cement, . . . I go back over it and flatten any puddles, . . . then grab the heat gun, . . . low setting, . . . about 30 seconds later, . . . I'm ready to put them together and continue on with the project.

I like doing it that way as it keeps me focused on the project I am on, . . . without a lot of extra "down time" waiting.

I've tried Tandy's contact cement (ugh !), . . . water based contact cement (doesn't hold as well), . . . white glue (messy), . . . yellow glue (takes too long to dry), . . . but always come back to Weldwood. Been using it for a few decades, . . . I like it.

May God bless,

Dwight

Hello Dwight,

Have you tried the Weldwood non-flammable contact adhesive, and if so, are you pleased with the results?

God Bless.
