Burnishing Edges - Glue Line?

[Red Cent]

I'm with Dwight. Weldwood Contact Cement, red can. As long as you can find it on your side of the world. If you can't find Weldwook in particular, look for a contact cement used for cabinet making or laminating wood. Something that dries harder than a flexible rubber type cement.

That's some pretty slick edges, looks like they are cut from wood.

Skald, . . . I think you very probably have the process down well enough.

Your product is what is causing the problem. Put the Barges up on the shelf for making waders or something like that.

Get some Weldwood Contact Cement, . . . and follow the directions fully. Coat each piece, but not "liberally", . . . just a thin but fully uniform coat. Allow it to dry. Make sure it is DRY.

Next put the pieces together, . . . use a rolling pin (belts) or a small wallpaper roller for holsters and the like. Sand it flush (I use both a round and a belt sander, . . . far prefer the belt). Edge it, . . . and burnish it.

May God bless,

Great thanks, I hardly thought of an alternative glue compound, for some odd reason. I got this quite worthless glue for thin leather, which most certainly won't do. But beyond that there must be others that leaves a thinner "weld". I'll look up the Weldwood thing, and see if I can get hold of it. I live in Sweden, and many products can't be shipped because they are considered dangerous as they are flammable. Again, thanks.
