Title: What glue
Post by: osage outlaw on May 26, 2020, 01:18:47 pm: What glue is the best to use on a leather shelf pad that you might want to remove later? Something that would clean off easily. I normally use self adhesive velcro or super glue the leather on. I'm looking on a better option to use with a leather pad.

Barge cement may be a good option...I used it years ago with trad bows

For a long term bond you apply adhesive to both surfaces. For an easy to remove bond, only apply to one surface, you can peel it off by hand pressure alone.
