Jj5685 Report post Posted October 4, 2013 I'm making a gun sling out of some copper heads I tanned. I was going to glue the snake skin to some suede and sew it behind the leather and around the inlay I cut out. The snake skin is transparent and you see the glue unevenly spread and its splotchy. I used e6000 glue and spread it on with a knife. It looked bad so I pulled it off before it dried. How do you glue it down. So do you use spray glue or what?

DoubleC Report post Posted October 4, 2013 I don't think it is the glue as much as the suede. I would try gluing it to veg tanned for behind the inlay or just glue the front edges to the inlay hole edges and sew it first and then sew your liner. Barge is very difficult to work with.

Jj5685 Report post Posted October 5, 2013 Ok I always learn by screwing something up, I tried spray glue. The other kind dampens leather and you can't get a even spread. Maybe it is the suede leather but this is what I'm going for. I got the inlay cut for my sling and it looks better than i thought so I'm not sure if I want to make a padded sling or not. Ill probably mess up in that part too lol. Here's the piece of suede that I ruined Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
