PastorBob Posted September 23, 2021 Report Posted September 23, 2021 Just now, Danne said: I have a couple of questions. How does the flesh side of your leather look? is it very "furry"? How do you apply contact cement? a thin layer on both pieces and let it dry until tacky? If you don't flush cut your edge and sand it, do you instantly start to sand after glue? and what direction do you sand along the edge or across the edge? Do you hammer down or press the edges after gluing together? pics please Quote In God's Grace, Pastor Bob "While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." - Romans 5:8 www.PastorBobLeather.com YouTube Channel

RockyAussie Posted September 26, 2021 Report Posted September 26, 2021 The only way I would be doing this would be by using an edge paint. You let the first coat or 2 soak in and fill all the voids and then start sanding or sometimes using an iron to smooth out the roughness before applying some further coats. Some people use PVA wood glue as well but I think that would depend on the end use application taking into account the amount of flexing it needs to withstand and so on.

I couldn’t find the pieces that I had .. but what I did do was get base coat and edge paint Quote "Fear not death itself, but how it comes"
Members canonitr Posted October 4, 2021 Author Members Report Posted October 4, 2021 I got Ledafil Super as base coat , and orly bt extramat as edge paint, though I am actually using wuta for the above .. I also have some basco edge coat in clear (https://www.goodsjapan.com/basco-leathercraft-edge-coat-brown-leather-edge-dye-dressing-kote-finish/a-20161) and wonder if I could use it as base for painting as well.. seems to dry to the same as the ledafil Quote "Fear not death itself, but how it comes"
