Members Danne Posted December 11, 2017 Members Report Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) I use the water based Renia Aquilim 315 and Aquilim SG, and i'm happy with those two. But in some situations i need a solvent based glue, one example is if i line something without glue (Like this card case i did a while ago, and i used Colle de Cologne to glue the lining.) But i have a hard time to decide a solvent based glue. I have most of Renias glues (Suitable for this type of work) , and i have tried them on veg tan and chrome tanned leather, and i think they behave very similar. But i wan't the most versatile glue, i guess some of those solvent based glues are better on oily leather and so on. I would appreciate some help to choose one of those. I would prefer to have two glue pots. One with water based (Aquilim 315) and one with a solvent based glue. And aquilim SG i can use directly from the can, since it's easy to rinse the brush in water afterwards. (I use SG for paddings on watch straps, and i guess it would be a good choice for zippers in the future, since it has an instant bond, but it's a temporary bond. It bonds to almost everything, flesh to grain, i even glue paddings to my granite plate så i can shape it easier. Edited December 11, 2017 by Danne Spell Quote
Members gigi Posted December 11, 2017 Members Report Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) Very nice card case! I've used Renia Top Fit and seems to me a very good/versatile glue. I haven't tried this one yet: Renia rubber adhesive (Renia Gummilösung "Extra") https://www.rickert-werkzeug.de/search?sSearch=renia Edited December 11, 2017 by gigi Quote

I did a test with Aquilim 315, i glued two pieces of leather together and after drying i put them in water for 15 minutes. Believe it or not the bond is as strong as before Edited December 11, 2017 by Danne Quote

No, but I've tried BISON KIT 250ml: contact adhesive, universal, super strong; the one that specifies also 'leather' at 'Applications'. Is available at Hornbach stores. 10 hours ago, Danne said: I did a test with Aquilim 315, i glued two pieces of leather together and after drying i put them in water for 15 minutes.

And it seems like either Top Fit or Colle De Cologne is the most versatile for me (veg tan, chrome tanned, exotics and maybe some waxy/oily. Top Fit is not/less "stringy" Colle is a little better on waxy/oily leather. Top fit also works on wet leather without letting it dry. (For example when/if you mold) Quote
