What glue
« on: May 26, 2020, 01:18:47 pm »
What glue is the best to use on a leather shelf pad that you might want to remove later?  Something that would clean off easily.   I normally use self adhesive velcro or super glue the leather on.  I'm looking on a better option to use with a leather pad.
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

How about hide glue? It comes off very clean with water. Depends on where you're going to use the bow though.

   Clint,
            Barge cement may be a good option...I used it years ago with trad bows

Contact cement. It will rub right off a bow's finish and sticks fine to Tru-Oil and poly.

+ 1 for barge cement, or other brand of contact adhesive.

For a long term bond you apply adhesive to both surfaces. For an easy to remove bond, only apply to one surface, you can peel it off by hand pressure alone.

I like Barge, you can rub most of it off and do a final cleanup with Naptha, it will remove the glue and not harm your finish.
