Glue on sheep skin?
« on: February 12, 2014, 07:42:00 PM »
I bought a used leather side quiver. I'd like to line it with some sheep skin/fur. Is there any glue on type skin worth anything or is there a good way to retrofit it with a glue that sticks to leather? If so, what's a good source for some strips of sheep and maybe a 10"x6" patch?

Bob, you can probably pick up some sheep skin at Tandy leather - either on line or at the Leather Factory. I use contact cement to glue the skin to other leather.

Barge Cement is the best glue you can use. As far as getting strips of shearling (wool) find a shop that rebuilds or builds saddles, they are a great place for small useable pieces.
Thanks,

Good 'ol Duco cement works if you coat both sides thinly (use an old credit card to spread it ) and let it dry.  Then re-coat and press together immediately.  

This also works for fur shelves on recurves.

Try Springfield Leather. Located in Springfield, Mo. If you've never been to their site you are in for a treat. I have a leather business and buy regularly from them. Also, try Masters All Purpose cement. I think you'll find it more workable that Barge's

Thanks to all for the replies.

Blade,
Thanks for the heads up on Tandy. I keep forgetting about them. There's a store down on Division and 32nd. They have Sheep skin remnants in white, tan and black. I'll get some Barge cement too. I'll drive over there this weekend.

Well, after calling Tandy, they have mostly small pieces. But the suggested Springfield leather has pieces that average a sq foot for $6. A couple of those will do the trick.

Either that or a Car Washing Sponge made of the stuff. Just Skin the Bad Boy! Buffer pad is a Great Idea!
