What is the best glue for the fabric to wood?
#136041 - 24/05/09 07:51 AM

I have a fitted Merkel case that needs a little repare, and another one that I want to re-configure to another double rifle. What is the best glue to use replaceing the fabric in an Oak & Leather case?

I dont know about brand names in the US but I have used an ADOS F2 spray adhesive for fabric to wood or fabric to hd foam. It is a contact adhesive that is used for formica laminate and can generally be relied on to stay on the nap of the fabric rather than soaking through and staining.

Pearl glue is the one that some case makers use.

A traditional bone glue. The type that has to be heated in the pot before use. Use sparingly.
When you use it to get that lovley flat finish and the sharp edges and corners etc. make up some small polished irons, apply the glue sparingly to the wood in a sort of spiders web and let it set.

Then apply the cloth ironing it on as you go. A normal house iron for most and a small flat iron you have made and polished for the tricky bits. This avoids wrinkles and any residule moisture or chemicals in the case that can attack polish or blueing.

Regards
