King's X Posted March 16, 2015 Report Posted March 16, 2015 There is a new Italian (?) product that recently came out in a couple of LC&SJ issue. They have water based products in liquid and powder based. I believe that Lisa Sorrell, bootmaker from OK maybe a dealer. I use wood weld and enjoyed the switch. I haven't used the green label yet. Good luck P.S. Eman.....you should have any problem gluing leather that has been treated with Neatsfoot oil.......Unless it has been dunked and not allowed to settle in with appropriate time.

Members cgleathercraft Posted March 16, 2015 Members Report Posted March 16, 2015 Green can Weldwood works better than any other water based glue I've used. Same as the others though - I prefer the red can. Quote http://www.cgleathercraft.com Member of the Iron Brigade.

Members oltoot Posted March 17, 2015 Members Report Posted March 17, 2015 Heated or not, about a quart of barges thinner for every two gallons of cement makes for better outcomes for me. Quote
Members TinkerTailor Posted March 18, 2015 Members Report Posted March 18, 2015 Wow, 2 gallons of Barge cement is a metric boatload of glue for a hobbyist. The info from pro guys is always appreciated, however the total volume of ALL my liquids is less than 2 gallons (minus the growler full of microbrew creation juice...) Granted, if its your profession, that would be a different story. Economy of scale and such... For the hobbyist, That recipe breaks down to an 8:1 cement-thinner ratio, meaning it should be 4 ounces thinner to the quart, or 125ml to the litre. Do your own math from there.

The water based glues Lisa carries are from the Renia Aquilim line from Germany. I just took a leather inlay class with her and had the opportunity to try them out, they're great, totally non toxic and very effective. Not at all like the usual water based adhesives we're used to in the US. Lisa has transitioned to using only these glues for her cowboy boots with the exception of attaching soles because her soles are attached while leather is wet. Quote
