Why I Switched to Leather Glue from Contact Cement

I finally did it. I've been using contact cement in my leather work since I started. A buddy recently hooked me up with a bottle of water-based leather glue and I can't believe I didn't try it sooner. Honestly, contact cement has always worked for me pretty well. There were just a couple issues that bothered me about it: the smell, and how it makes burnishing edges difficult. Leather glue has solved both issues. I'd really recommend trying out a good water-based leather glue. I'm now using Ecostick 1816B but I'm pretty sure that most leather glues are the same. Check out the links below to grab one.

My name is Tim. Thanks for checking out my YouTube channel. I started leather working in July of 2020. My passion for leather work quickly grew as I learned and practiced. I received a ton of help from the leather working community when I was new and now I aim to pass on what I learn to other beginner leather workers. I post weekly leather craft videos that include tutorials, free pdf pattern templates, how to's, tips and tricks, and any other leather work content that I think could help you out! #leatherglue #leatherworking #leathercraft -------------------------- Disclaimer: Links to products/services in the description are often affiliate links that let you support my channel at no additional cost.
