hunter131 Report post Posted April 25, 2014 I am working on covering a canteen right now. i want to cover the cap also and want to put a small piece of leather on the cap then attach it to the mouth so it wont fall off. i have looked at the tutorial listed on the forum but my question is what is the best way to attach the leather to the top of the cap. the tutorial says use a rivet. i will use a rivet but im afraid it might leak if it is turned upside down. so with all that being said would you say just use a rivet or what other way?

Tree Reaper Report post Posted April 25, 2014 I would prefer glue over a rivet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hunter131 Report post Posted April 26, 2014 what about a rivet and glue around it to seal it better Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tree Reaper Report post Posted April 26, 2014 Probably JB Weld around the rivet if I was doing it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hunter131 Report post Posted April 28, 2014 so i just realized how dumb of a question this was and dumb of me for not thinking about it more and researching...i just looked back at the tutorial and the pics...he rivet the leather to the leather cap the glued the cap to the plastic cap! Duh! i was thinking he drilled through the plastic and riveted it through the plastic. man! i feel stupid LOL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
