Double sided tape for leather

[ljk]

We have been using atv tape (double sided) for over 20 years.  The gun (Scotch atv 700) allows

 for easy application ( about $25 on ebay).  Originally found in picture framing.  We started using

it in the motorcycle patch business.  We could use it to mount patches with no mess. It would

hold with ease for stitching.  In the winter we made leather products and used it for

taping fringe, applying labels and any application that needs temporary attachment  prior to

sewing.  Today we no longer have that business but still operate a online embroidery

custom patch business and tape is indispensable for mounting paper backing to embroidery

twill prior to embroidery.  Buy the 3m stuff and refrigerate the extra until use.

For stronger applications I use SEALALL contact cement from the Dollar Store, quick

set up ( about a minute ) and very strong.  Indispensable for my leather hobby.
