jonathan_james Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 I just received a Mamiya 6 folder which I bought on the great unmentionable auction site. It's in excellent condition but the leatherette (or what passes for leatherette on this camera - sort of black paper really!) needs to be resecured. What glue is recommended for this? I remember once having to force open the back of a Seagull tlr which had suffered from someone using super glue to resecure the leatherette. Any suggestions?

mskovacs Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 If you can't find Pliobond locally (I couldn't), <a href="http://www.micro-tools.com">microtools</a> (USA) sells it. Stinky stuff but it works and most importantly, it can be removed if the leather needs to come off during a servicing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mskovacs Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 DO NOT USE CONTACT CEMENT. It bonds permanently and shrinks the leather down so tight as to reveal every flaw in the body underneith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vick_ko Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Another suggestion is to use double-sided tape. regards Vick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
