Do you glue before making stitch holes?

[Hardrada]

Glue before punching holes. Excess glue can be removed with adhesive eraser right after pressing both pieces together, before the glue has time to harden.

That eraser can also be used to remove edge paint that lands on the leather.

Thanks for the advice.  I have a few ideas to follow now.  I do have tape and will be using it on my wallets and bags.

What's an adhesive eraser?

Its a block of crepe rubber material. Sometimes it can rub off contact or surface glue.

Remember crepe? shoe soles were made of it in the 1950s - 'brothel creepers'

Yeah, I had a pair of desert boots back in the day!  

I also have some crepe rubber I'm planning to use for moccasin soles.

Ahh Desert boots, once worn in, they were so comfortable and lasted forever, maybe time to buy some again

Yes, they were very comfortable! But I found the crepe soles eventually deteriorated and actually stuck to the floor!
