RockyAussie Report post Posted August 4, 2016 Hi gigi, myself I use a solvent base contact glue which is commonly used in the shoe repair trade for attaching soles. The edging is also very good for not separating apart. But I would still prefer the stitching for extra security and the band above was done as a prototype to arrive at the desired shape and structure.Here see some ostrich watches and bands I did a while back and they are folded edge. I would not dream of using this method without stitching.The face skin I had to split down to .3mm and the failure rate was pretty bad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gigi Report post Posted August 4, 2016 Thank you Brian: very helpful as always! I was wondering how can I make a lining for belts that does come off at the edges. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RockyAussie Report post Posted August 4, 2016 Do you not mean, a lining that does not come off at the edges? Sorry I am confused. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gigi Report post Posted August 4, 2016 Right! Sorry, typing mistake: forgot the 'NOT' . Here is a photo - the lining is glued and stitched, but I was wondering if this will hold in time: the edge does remain glued: (if it was better to fold the lining edges inside before sewing).

RockyAussie Report post Posted August 4, 2016 Very nice looking work gigi. I have no worries with doing my belts without folded edges or stitching with the contact glue and the edging I use. I have to go get dinner or wife will kill me but see belt as I make over a 100 per week and have no problems with. The glue can be sprayed or through machine or brushed on as see pics.

Northmount Report post Posted September 30, 2016 Terrific work. I much prefer the watch band that is a single band with the watch sitting on top like the black one several photos above. They don't exert continuous stress on the pins. Better for the active working man. Pins last longer and don't get pulled out if you snag the watch strap.
