BEST LEATHER GLUE + LIFE HACKS 

Thank you for an informative and concise video. My wife has a handbag that has started separating and your video helped me pick the right glue from our workshop.

Thanks for the informative video. I weld, glue, bolt, screw, lash, nail and sew things together, and your excellent and pleasantly spoken information was educational.

Having used several different brands of contact cement on leather and rubber, I would say they all work fine. There will be differences in the amount if time they take to tack up, the amount of time you have to put them together and the amount of time it takes to dry.

That was actually a very informative video. Well spoken, charming and right down to what is important. Thanks!

Most useful video by far!! Thank you for posting the video!

I appreciate you and the organized effort you put into this informative video.

So glad I watched this. Was about to buy Barge for leather craft. Thank you.

Thank youuu!! Glue Magazine... xixiii

Thank you for your awesome tips. You don't know how much help you have been. I appreciate how nice you explain things and your calming voice makes things nice to listen to. I had only found men explaining leather crafting. I felt so lost. Thank you so much. I am so glad I found your channel💖

Hey! I am a leather worker and have been for about 7 years - and I use only barge and sew through the leather every day. It is essentially contact cement. Paul Long who is a master sheath maker for over 40 years has only ever used Barge cement. With that said - I hand sew leather in a traditional manner and Paul uses leather sewing machines. You may be speaking about a fabric sewing machine - and I have no experience with that. I would suggest this when using barge before you sew - coat both parts you want to hold together with a thin layer of Barge and let it fully dry. Then put them together. It is contact cement, however, so you have to get it right the first time - there is no moving it around. When you sew through fully dried Barge - it will not be sticky or grab your needles like partially dried cement can. Thanks so much for the others. I learned something!

Great tutorial. Liked and subbed. Greetings from Fargo.😃

I have to say, using a magazine like that for gluing items is ingenious! I have been using loose sheets of used printer paper that I would be tossing out… but the magazine idea in brilliant! :)

Hi what’s the best glue for the worm out leather in wallets. Basically I want to fill in the hole areas and be able to paint over it. Also, is that same glue good for leather edging on straps? 🙂

Very informative video and life hacks. I only have E6000 with me. Can I use it to glue a small 10 cm x 10 cm woven patch on my leather jacket ? I was not sure if your example of bonded leather has the same surface as a leather jacket. Thanks !

Great video. Your voice is so soothing. Have you ever transferred glue to a piping bag or squeeze applicator before?

Thanks 😊

Fantastic video. Very informative, I would like to know whether or not you thin down your barge contact cement?

Hi, your video was great. I am gluing a pale cream thin shagreen leather on my bed down which peeled up. Which glue can I use that won't bleed thru ?

Holy moly

Can I put blu barge to glue the leather on the plastic phone case?

Great video! Thanks for spending time making it. I'm glad that you mentioned about the smell, I've been using the Barge all purpose cement for quite some time, the major thing I don't like it is the smell: not only is strong but also can stay for a very long time after dried, I made some leather knife sheath with it a few years ago and now I can still smell it. Can you recommend any glue that doesn't have strong smell? I'm currently planning to restore an antique book which has a few cracks on the spine that need to be repaired, glues with strong smell will probably ruin the book. Thanks again.

Great video and awesome professional advice. I have a couple questions - I'm trying to fix my old leather knee pads by gluing on a new piece of leather on to them. what glue do you recommend would work best for this situation? would it hold over time or will it come apart? Should I try a different approach? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you and happy new year.

and can you sew through it?

Hiya!... can you recommend a glue that I can use to put buttons and beads on a leather jacket?...if possible. :)

Informative video. I'm interested in attaching an embroidered patch onto a soft leather bag. I don't own a sewing machine nor would I know how to use one. Would any of these glues work? Based on the video, I'm leaning toward the E6000. What do you think? Thank you.

Thank you for sharing a very informative video...I have some leather strips and want glue it onto wood, which one works the best?

"OG" nice

Hi! Thanks for a very straightforward and informative video. What glue should I use if I want to bond leather to a stainless steel? (particularly a flask). Will be waiting for your response. Thank you! :)

I have used standard barge for years, and have litterly never had an issue sewing threw it on any sewing machine.

I just saw another video from Springfield leather and he said that if you get any of the Barge cement on the outside you can use an all purpose eraser to clean it off.

Hi there, could please recommend the best glue that works well with foam panel please. Thank u

which glue would you recommend to use when gluing and embroidered patch to leather

I want to glue python leather to shoe leather and then re sew through it. do I use the barge rubber tf or can I use the green barge infinity glue?

I can no longer find the original Barge Cement in my area and have tried the new blue version with terrible results. I have shoes/boots I fixed with the original eons ago that are still holding. Shoes I’ve tried with the blue just do not last - redos numerous times. Finally went with Weldwod contact cement which is better but still not as good as old reliable. The man at the Birkenstock store even recommended the original to attach heel taps. Any idea why it’s not sold anymore?

Thank you again in advance :-)

Every leather bag maker I know has ALWAYS used Barge cement to hold two pieces of leather together! We sew through it without blinking. Of course you need an industrial machine, but unless you're only working with super-thin leather, you'll need an industrial machine. You'd better get a walking foot industrial, for that matter. It is difficult to find better glue than Barge when making bags and shoes.

Hi there, and thx for the great educational video. :) Here's a question if you could be so kind to spare me a few seconds.

Hi B hope you and your family are well 🤩

Hello B. Dillinger, I hope you are well and that you can answer my question. What glue would you recommend to attach fabric to leather, specifically a muslin fabric to an old cosmetic case. I want to put pictures of not so well known women in history to make the case look vintage. I hope you can give me some advise. I am doing this along with several other projects for a friend and have had them for a couple of years. Inspiration starting striking the beginning of this year and this is the last project. Thank you for your time.

What is the rhinestones fall off or I decide I want them off is there a safe way to bling my leather jacket without damaging the actual leather itself ? Will that glue 6000 glue wash off in the event the rhinestones come off ?

I am trying to repair a vinyl chair that split apart along a seam and I do not want to resew it. I thought about putting a vinyl patch underneath the seam split and then using E6000 to glue the patch to the split seam to bring the seam together. I would then use clear tape to keep it pull together while the glue dries. 2 questions - 1) Is that a good idea? Rather than using vinyl under the split seam, is there better material to pull a seam closed that won't spread with time? 2) When I glue vinyl to vinyl, do I use the front of the vinyl or the back which has the backer on it? Thanks.
