Bostik Leather Repair Glue, Extra Strong, Quick Drying, Flexible Bond, Water Resistant, Colour: Clear, 20ml tube

Product Information

This product creates a flexible, durable bond between layers of leather, providing the fusion required for various shoe repairs. One very important key to using leathercraft cement, or any contact cement, is that it needs to be applied to BOTH surfaces that will be joined. However, a slower drying time can be beneficial because it allows users to make minor adjustments before the glue bonds. If you’ve applied too much glue, or some has leaked out whilst you were applying pressure to the two parts, then make sure you wipe it off with white spirit. Of course, the glue is extremely flexible, even once cured, therefore it can take the stress of a high use area.
