They are higher in VOCs than glues (particularly sensitive users should wear a mask) and slightly more complicated to apply, as they must be spread evenly on both surfaces before bonding. Since leather is a natural material and has pores in it’s surface, having the right glue with the right hold and flexibility is important for a quality and lasting result. It gets applied to both surfaces before joining them, and in some cases, must dry slightly before the items are pressed together to form a durable bond. Gluing leather items, such as shoes or jackets, is easy, but it requires knowing how to prepare, apply, and clean after use. Wakeson Leather filler is a specially designed paste used to fill in imperfections, holes, rips, and scuffs in all leather items.

Making sure the patch is flat and smooth, the Leather Glue PU can also be placed onto the underside of the leather through the damage with the use of a pallet Knife other small tool or paint brush. Our water-based glue easily repairs all cuts, holes, rips and splits in all types of leather; leather furniture, clothing, shoes and household goods. Some glues produce a secure and long-lasting adhesive, while others give a grip that is either more flexible or more transient.Fit the dry surfaces where you wish and then use the tip of a hot iron to melt the glues and seal the bond, bit by bit. This leather repair glue kit comes with 10 colors, allowing users to mix and blend to create an ideal color match.

The bond might also be permanent, intended to join pieces of leather together indefinitely as part of a finished piece.Even then, leather-specific glues such as Tandy’s Leather Eco-Flo Leathercraft glue will do a better job here.
