barge cement alternative?????

[Stumpkiller]

I just had a thought (it kind hurt!)

Has anyone tried fletching tape to hold down rests and pads?  I don't have any to experiment with.

If you can't find Barge (usually at any hobby store like Hobby Lobby in the leather area), you can also get weatherstripping cement from an auto parts store or automotive paint store. Same basic thing.

I usually try and get some stuff in yellow tube called ( Seal-all)

I bought black shoe-goo back when I made my ghillie suit and now I use it for everything.  I use it to glue cowhide shelf rugs right onto my wooden riser.  It's my new secret weapon!

I use Weldwood Contact glue to glue on convertible tops and vinyl tops and about everything else in my business. It's more than good enough to hold down a rug. I even glue handle wraps on with it. If it ever needs cleaning off just rub it hard with a rag and mineral spirits. I also glue up quivers and anything else leather with it.Bear in mind, it's a "contact glue". Coat BOTH surfaces, and let them dry, THEN stick them.Depending on the humidity, you'll have as long as an hour open time.Generally, 10 minutes is good.
