Aleene's15594 Leather & Suede Glue 4oz

Product arrived quickly and in perfect condition. I had been using leather contact adhesive but it always went bad in the can if you didn't use it right away. This one has an very fast set time to be able to work with it (5-10 minutes). This glue is very easy to apply. Just put glue down on one item and press the other item. Clamp for a few minutes and done. This is now my glue of choice for leather projects. It is not as strong of a bond as the contact adhesive, but I only need it to hold until I stitch it. I will definitely buy this again. Great product! Great value!

I’ve a vintage Italian leather purse with wonky handles for some time now. Finding a cobbler/leather repair shop locally is very difficult these days. Used this glue and put a few weights on top to hold it down. These handles are going nowhere! Holds beautifully. Applied carefully with a q-tip with the cotton removed, it looks professionally repaired. I highly recommend it and the price can’t be beat.

This seemed to work well on most items that I tried it on. I only had issues with one item and that was inside a car. I assume the glue did not hold due to the high temps the inside of the car can reach on a hot and sunny summer day.

Working perfectly for my Gucci belt))

Okay, you are probably buying this for leather and probably are debating using this vs. rubber cement, which a lot of makers use. I have used both, but I am coming back to Aleene's Leather glue and here are the pros and cons.Pros: glues up leather fast. You can cut pieces you glued together only 3-5 minutes later. The bond isn't invincible, but strong enough. You also get a lot of use out of a bottle, I've made dozens of projects with only a single one. It's also very economical and cheap compared to something like Barge cement.Cons: ruins ability to dye parts of leather if you accidentally touch a part of leather with it on your finger or it smudges. Application is also harder than cement, which you brush. In my case I use my finger as a squeegee to clean up the lines of glue. Once you do it a few times it isn't such a downside.So why use it over cement? For me it's all because of how fast it tacks up, that is the clear reason why. When I am working on a project I like to be doing 1-3 things at a time but my main focus is the piece I want done, and I hate waiting 10 minutes each time for cement application. I am also able to stick the pieces together wet and slide it a bit if I got it off position for the first few seconds, which is important to me. I like making things NOW not waiting a long time, which makes this product 5/5 stars!

This glue is OK for tacking on leather, but not what it was suggested in the reviews. I bought this glue to paste my patches on my biker vest. This does not work, by the way. This glue will tack the patch down, but it does not keep it adhered to the leather. In fact, the glue comes off both the leather and the back of the patch. It does not matter whether the leather is smooth or not. I did a test run on completely smooth leather and the patch could be easily peeled off, as well as the glue from the leather and the patch. I decided to use it anyway to tack my patches down and then sew them on. It does sort of work for that.

Arrived quickly and it was very easy to apply on the inside of shoes that some small areas were starting to peel on the inside. Glued the small areas very smoothly. Would buy again.

This product is falsely advertised as being “Great for repairing leather items like shoes, belts and purses”. This glue was not strong at all, and did not even last a minute on a shoe repair. It may be fine to bond things to leather when you don’t expect the leather to need to flex. On my shoe repair one flex easily broke the bond after letting it dry for two days. It was inexpensive so I will just use it as a general purpose glue around the house but it does not serve the purpose for leather repair.
