Guessing all of you that are out there doing Leather Wraps are using your own type of glue. I use Wellwood Contact Cement in the red can. I just ran across something you might want to check out. Wellwood makes a "GEL" formula, and it works wonders, especially when you want to recoat the contact cement. This does not seem to ball up as much. Just thought I would share, cause I just used it on a Leather Wrap, and man it was awesome.

Is it Wellwood or Weldwood? Also, where's the best place to get it? Thanks.

I buy at lowes? Not sure if you have one in your area or not, but that is where to get it.

I have a Lowes nearby and will be picking up some today. Others have been impressed with it so I am going to give it a try.

I get the Dura-Bond from Tiger Products and it has been what I've been using for the Stack Leather wraps. I have experienced no problems with it, but I'm always looking for a better way. Thanks.

I just thought I'd mention this while on the subject of where to find products, I don't know how many have an ace store in your area, but I have noticed that sometimes when the big hardware stores or department stores did'nt have something or quit carrying something that I used, the little bitty old ace place that I forgot about was the only place I could find It in town.:) Greg C
 
Has anyone tried pro bond or lepages contact cement that is, i assume a latex it cleans up with water,has very little smell.

Been using that for about a month ... that stuff is the nuts. Funny thing is I bought it because I went to the store for regular contact cement to do a wrap with, and they were all out of everything but the gel... so I had no choice. lol.

Never going back.
