I wanted to put a piece of leather on my sight window/shelf, But dont want to use an actual GLUE. Anyone know what I can use to make the leather stick WELL but keep it from being PREMANANT and ruining the wood or clear coat?  I know 3R sells a piece of adhesive backed leather But ....I want to do it myself

I use contact cement and it will come off the bow, as least it always has when I've done it.  It leaves a residue similar to rubber cement.  I suppose the bow finish may make a difference.  I've only done this over Tru-Oil.

Barge glue/ cement works great.  It is a contact glue but you can put it on wet and then position the piece.  It will dry and can be removed with heat, very easily.

Barge Cement or Shoe Goo...

Glue the leather to a piece of duct tape or masking tape and then apply to the bow.

Barge cement for me has always worked great.

Contact cement...

Hmmm, some good Ideas, I may just try out this BARGE cement Seems like it has alot of uses...Thanks

I use Charlie's tip of barge on gorilla tape... works simply awesome. Won't come off unless you want it too, easy to keep a spare tucked away in your pack, just in case.

Double sided carpet tape at your hardware store makes a superstrong clean looking backing. Or simpler yet use some barge cement.

I have used Fletch Tite, Duco, Barge Cement, and Contact Cement, with good results.  I wasn't as pleased with the Barge Cement as the others though.

I use double sided tape. I have had a roll here for years, it lasts a long time.

Shoo Goo is the best I've used.  I've had some problems with Barge Glue.

well I just bought some Barge, I have shoe goo, and I got this other stuff called Quick grip.  The biggest thing for me is to be able to get it off when I want to with out it getting hard and possibly ruining the finish of the bow.  Thanks for all the responses, and keep them coming...

I use Barge on stuff I don't want to come off, and Elmer's rubber cement on stuff I may want to remove later.  Neither one has failed to come off or stay put, as the case may be.
