Description
Leathercraft Contact Adhesive is a water-soluble glue for joining leather surfaces. It has a milky appearance when applied and dries clear. Use it when assembling leather pieces for your next project.
Apply the glue to both surfaces before joining them. Porous leather can absorb the first coat, especially on the flesh side. A second coat helps create a better bonding surface.
Leathercraft Contact Adhesive Features
• Water-soluble formula for leatherwork.
• Milky when wet, with a clear dried finish.
• Applied to both surfaces being joined.
• Two coats recommended for porous leather.
• Choose the required bottle size from the product options.
How to Apply
Start with a small test piece to check the result on your leather. This is useful when working with a new leather type or finish.
Apply a generous first coat to both surfaces. Allow this coat to dry completely. The existing product instructions suggest around one to two hours for this stage. Drying time can vary with the leather and working conditions.
Apply a second coat to both surfaces. Wait until it becomes tacky, then bring the pieces together before the coat dries completely. Align the edges carefully as you join them.
Why Use Two Coats?
The underside of leather can absorb glue quickly. The first coat forms a base for the next application. The second coat can then bond to that prepared surface.
Using Leathercraft Contact Adhesive this way helps address absorption rather than relying on a single coat that soaks into the leather.
