I would be curious how Dap Weldwood contact adhesive performs in this test. That adhesive will hold Landau top material (a cloth like vinyl) to a the top of a classic car (metal). Heat and weather do not affect the hold.

good to know! I've never had to bond anything to metal yet, but I would definitely be willing to give it a try.

@jdimeo1966 Ай бұрын

@@SailriteWorkbench I only used that reference because if it adheres to metal, then it should be able to adhere leather to leather. 🙂

I’ve used Weldwood on my leatherwork for years and it holds up well. Would have liked to seen it in this test.

Very interesting content. I have no reason for watching a video on leather glue other than Corbin is one of my best friends, but this was genuinely interesting content! Great job to Corbin and the Sailrite content team! I was hooked the whole time (like the leather. Ha.)!

Thank you I have often wondered about this. I have gone through gallons of barge cement

@SailriteWorkbench Ай бұрын

I used to always use contact cements like barge, but i've found myself using water based/white glue more recently. I think it's mostly because of the contact cement smell

@annetteremner7312 Ай бұрын

Why was barge not in the line up?

@SailriteWorkbench Ай бұрын

I just chose my favorites from each glue category, and I prefer s-18 over barge when it comes to contact cement. Maybe some day we will film a longer version and compare different brands more closely.
