Leatherworking questions
kevinnator11:
I use rubber cement and then stitch it. However, I just use a few dabs here and there. If you use much it can squeeze out and that's aggravating when you are slicking the edges. I use just enought to hold the pieces together.
As for staining I agree it's personal preference. I've used clear oil on projects that will get a lot of wear and tear outdoors without a stain. It'll darken the leather somewhat but seems pretty durable. Some say that will affect the stitches but I haven't had any problems there.
