Members clintsdivco Posted May 10, 2014 Author Members Report Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) Quick question from a beginner. What glue or cement do you use or do you use any?I don't use any glue on these. I sew a one inch strip of Velcro the full length on the ends and overlap them so the Velcro holds it all together. If you just wrap the leather around the flask and hook the Velcro it is somewhat loose, so I check where the Velcro meets then take the cover back off and over lap another 1/8th inch or so and refasten. I then start the flask into the cover from the top and force it down into the pre-fastened cover giving it a very snug fit.I make them this way so the flask can be removed for a thorough cleaning when necessary, without getting the cover wet. Here is the back side of one of my covers. Edited May 10, 2014 by clintsdivco Quote

Members clintsdivco Posted May 12, 2014 Author Members Report Posted May 12, 2014 I'd like thank everyone for their compliments. I really appreciate it. I just started doing leather work about 2 1/2 years ago out of boredom in my retirement. I surprise myself every time I finish a project. Thanks again for all the kind compliments. Clint Quote
