Title: gluing snakeskins to leather what would you use
Post by: Dirtybird on February 18, 2011, 12:06:00 PM
I'm working on some quivers, just wondering what glue to use for putting the skins to leather?

I glued some snakeskin to a quiver but it was a tanned snakeskin and I just used Barge cement for it.Not sure about a dried snakeskin if that is what you have.

Jack Harrison has put 3 sets on for me:

Barge it is.  

The skins get wore out before the glue does anything.

on a quiver or leather use only  tanned snakeskin..not air dried, you can use barge or contact cement..if possible..i would stitch it as well as a safety precaution if possible
