pg043 Report post Posted March 4, 2015 So I just got my hands on a side of Horween Chromexcel. While it is very nice to work with, the first challenge I have run into is that it doesn't seem to glue very well. I have always used Weldwood and never had any issues, but it just didn't want to stick to this CXL. The surface is kind of slick, but I have glued other chrome tanned leathers before. I tried roughing up the grain side. It didn't help much, but I probably didn't rough it up enough, I just went over it lightly with sandpaper. Anyone had this problem? What kind of glue are you using on CXL? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob Blea Report post Posted March 4, 2015 I use Weldwood and I haven't tried gluing that particular kind of leather, but I have found I need to rough up my leathers with more than just sand paper. I use a small wood rasp and really tear up the grain surface fibers on my pigskin linings. That seems to make it glue with Weldwood very well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
