Northmount Posted August 31, 2014 Report Posted August 31, 2014 CA normally refers to cyanoacrylate glue, super glue. So be careful using shorthand like CA for contact adhesive. I had to re-read the previous post a couple times to understand what was being said. Tom Quote
Members StrigaMort Posted August 31, 2014 Members Report Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) I was gonna say the same thing. I work with cyanoacrylate often. You definitely don't want to confuse the two. Might call it CC, contact cement instead. Edited August 31, 2014 by StrigaMort Quote Proud purveyor OMEGA Leather
Members SlammySammy Posted January 18, 2017 Members Report Posted January 18, 2017 Thanks for all the great advice everyone. I will have to try using the Woodweld. I currently use Pliobond 25 and it's a similar contact cement that I picked up at Ace Harware store. It works very well if clamped and let to cure for 5 min. I've only started making Wallets but need something with a finer applicator that allows me to put down a nice bead. Quote

Members Sceaden Posted January 31, 2017 Members Report Posted January 31, 2017 So I guess I have an odd wife then as she likes the smell of Original Weldwood. Quote
Members Pirate305 Posted July 8, 2017 Members Report Posted July 8, 2017 Weldwood is the best so far. It's inexpensive and goes a long way. I have never needed to thin it down, just use a small brush for the little spots. put a dab on both pieces let it sit till it stops shining and put your pieces together and clamp with either wood or heavy leather between clamps. And if your worried about some squeezing out and gluing the wood or heavy leather to your piece, just put wax paper on both sides. Cheers Quote
