Aleene's Leather & Suede Glue vs. Regular Fabric Glue
Aleene’s Leather & Suede Glue can do what regular fabric glue can’t. Leather and suede are difficult materials to glue because it is more difficult for oxygen to get to the adhesive to allow the solvents to evaporate and create a bond and that’s what sets Aleene’s Leather & Suede Glue apart from a regular fabric glue. Aleene’s Leather & Suede Glue does not need oxygen in order to evaporate in the same way as fabric glues, so it is a great product to have on hand for any belt, shoe, or purse repairs that may come your way.
How to Apply Aleene's Leather & Suede Glue
- First, remove the cap, then take a pair of scissors and cut off the tip of the nozzle.
- Next, prepare the surface you are bonding by roughening it a bit. Roughening the surface will help to create a stronger bond.
- After that, you can put a thin line of Aleene's Leather & Suede Glue to the surface and quickly wipe away any unwanted extra.
- Allow Aleene's Leather & Suede Glue to cure for a full 24 hours before handling the leather or suede product.
- Do not machine wash Aleene's Leather & Suede Glue, it will ruin its bond. If you use Aleene's Leather & Suede Glue on a leather product, then it may be dry cleaned, but not suede.
Where to Use Aleene's Leather & Suede Glue
