I bought this glue literally just to use two drops. I had to modify and shorten the leather sleeve for my Henry Mare's Leg and, since I can't sew, I just dabbed a couple of drops of this glue where I had to cut some stitches. It worked just fine. Then I decided to modify an arrow quiver for my speed loader tubes. (Tubes you fill with ammo to make loading a rifle quick and easy.) I had some leather left over from my previous modification and used this to make the necessary modifications to the quiver. I needed a flap on top to keep the tubes from falling out and I needed a way to raise the shorter tubes up higher in the quiver. (The longer tubes fit perfect. I took some of that left over suede leather and made a cup about 8 inches long with a closed bottom. I did this using this glue of course. Then I glued it down far enough inside the quiver so the smaller tubes were easily accessible. I glued the flap on as well and am able to fold it over the top of the quiver and tie it off. This has all worked great. I hauled that quiver to the range full of 20 speed loader tubes each full of ammo. 10 of them in that leather cup. All of my modifications held up with no indication of doing otherwise. I'm super impressed with this glue. Then, I got a new cell phone. It fit in my old case, but uses a magnetic backing on the phone to hold it in the case. My old case didn't have magnets in the right place to hold the phone. I sliced the case open with a razor, added some magnets that I had pulled out of a phone case that I didn't like and sealed it all up with this glue. The only cuts that can be seen in the case are under the phone and they're sealed up good with this glue. Every one of my repairs/modifications are solid and strong. I am actually amazed at the strength of this glue. It worked great on leather to leather and pleather to pleather. (Phone case.) Where has this glue been all my life? Who knew it would come in so handy. Then my son used some to modify his halloween costume. Gluing cloth this time. This is good versatile glue. It looks just like elmer's glue, but elmer's doesn't have the strength this stuff has. I had no idea I would get so much use out of it. Now I'm looking for things to glue together ;)

Delivery took a while, though that's more of an issue with the vendor. The product works fantastic, however. With just a small strip of space for the cement to latch on, I was able to completely reattach a laterally torn section of scales on the heel of my teju lizard boot, and I don't believe it'll ever come loose again (and if it does, it'll take a while). The consistency was pretty thick, just a bit less than toothpaste, and the texture was smooth enough, so I had to take a towel to jam it between the rows of scales that had come apart. Of course, this inevitably left residue on the surface of the boot, but after it was dry enough to hold itself together, I could just put a couple drops of water in the area and brush the residue off. Overall, I'd give this leather cement a 9.5/10, the one thing that would make it perfect is if it was packaged with a small brush for cases where you don't need half a dime sized dollop of cement for the use case.

This leather glue is not Elmer' glue. Out of the bottles, they look identical, but this glue dries more transparent than Elmer's glue. On the cutting mat, Elmer's glue will peal off easily without residuals, whereas Fiebing's glue will not come off - I can only slice it off from the mat and a thin coat of glue remains on the mat surface. The main difference is that this leather glue remains flexible (and sticky) while Elmer's glue becomes very hard, similar to wood glue. I can even roll up the cured Fiebing's glue - see pic. Note that, despite the name, this leather glue does not work like contact cement, and must be held together to dry like any other water-based glue.
