Title: Glue/ Cement for leather grips?
Post by: TxAg on September 17, 2013, 05:58:00 PM
What brand should I use for applying a leather grip to a wood/glass bow? Can I find it at the local hardware store?

I have always used barge leather cement.

Cool.  There is a Tandy Leather store right down the road so I'll stop by and grab some. Thanks!

Ace Hardware carries it too, Jeff.  Good luck with the grip job!

the cement worked well. I put a thinner piece of leather on and the best part is it matches my back quiver.

Plybond contact cement works very well for me and doesn't slip in hot weather or dry out like barge cement will.
