Contact cement residue

[Jason046]

I am currently using barge contact cement and was wondering if you have to apply it on both sides. I am cementing 2 pieces of leather and the bottom piece is getting the residue. Does anyone know of a solution for this

You have to apply the cement on both surface, let them dry and then put them together.

I am gluing 2 pieces of 8 oz leather. The bottom piece sometimes gets on the side that' showing. I have been using fiebings leathercraft cement and would wipe away the excess when it came through but would still occasionally leave a residue. Switched to barge but I guess I'm just going to have to be more careful where it' going. This is the kind of stuff I'm doing

Try just applying the bare minimum to stick the parts together. It looks like you're stitching them together anyways so the glue only needs to be a small amount. Too much glue; the excess has has to go somewheres, and as you apply it to the top of the surface the excess goes into the leather and out the other side

These work great....don't have to get them from tandy, just google glue eraser. They will quickly and easily remove the glue.
