Leather glue : how to choose the best solution for a solid and durable bond?
Leather is a noble material, used for centuries in leather goods, footwear, furniture, model making, accessories, sports equipment and many craft applications. Yet when it comes to repairing or assembling it, many people are simply looking for leather glue, without knowing that not all glues are suitable for all types of leather.
Genuine leather, full grain leather, smooth leather, suede, nubuck, synthetic leather or imitation leather: each material has specific characteristics which influence the choice of glue.
The best result depends on several criteria:
- the type of leather;
- the desired flexibility;
- the bonding surface;
- the desired resistance;
- the final use of the object.
At Super Glue Colle21, we develop a wide range of cyanoacrylate glues and professional adhesives making it possible to respond to numerous applications on leather, with excellent value for money.
Can you glue leather with cyanoacrylate glue?

Good preparation is essential.

A clean surface guarantees better bonding.
The most common errors
Users often think that the more we apply glue, the stronger the bonding will be.
