You, sir, are a life saver. I had totally forgotten spray adhesives existed and was blanking on how to get the effect I was looking for this really changed how I line things for the better! Thank you so much for posting this tutorial, I hope things are going great for you!
The fabric should always be folded over and then sew on to the leather, just a suggestion, as with constant bending the edgekote cracks and comes off and the fabric pulls away from the leather. To make it last forever glue down with Masters, fold under the side seam, then sew it to the leather, then edgekote.
Nice looking passport wallet. I was thinking of doing the same with a long wallet. Using a liner like that really gives it a nice look. Cheers from Canada.
Try canvas prints with a resolene waterproof coating, printed canvas with a PVC clear glue and water coating or silicon clear caulk and acetone to thin the caulk, and spray paint it on the fabric to protect and waterproof it. You can make your own beautiful canvas like LV if you lightly stretch the canvas, print or paint it or order a preprinted print online of your design, coat it with several thin coats of thinned clear silicon caulk, and after it dries take it off the stretchers. You'll have a pebbled effect on the canvas like Louis Vuitton that is quite durable. You can make custom wallets, album covers, man totes, girl bags, whatever.
That is an awesome tip. I have been wanting to make my own material similar to LV and was wondering the best way to go about it, I'll give it a try. Thank you.
Sir I’m new to leather working I appreciate how you explain the process. I also really appreciate your words of encouragement. Ps this is my first ever comment to site. Lol.
When I’ve had a rough finish after edge coating, I add another coat of Gum Trag and use my electric burnisher on it. It smooths out the edge coat beautifully.
Great job! Thanks for the tips. I am new to leather, but I have sewn with textiles most of my life. I like lining leather accessories with fabric. But I am having a hard time finding the right adhesive. For lighter color and weight (silks, chiffon, satin) even clear glue leaves a bit of a stain, like a water mark.
Yes. I switched from 77 to the stronger, but later switched to the CRC offering found at Harbor Freight. I mostly use iron on adhesive and a heat press now. I have advanced quite a lot since filming this!
Craftsmanship of the masters. When I put on ma leather I made, and rock to sum Metallica, Delta Parole, Foo Fighters or the Smashing Pumpkins I feel like I can do anything in the whole wide world.
Curious if there was an advantage or disadvantage for using a smaller piece of fabric where it just covers the opening vs lining the entire wallet length
In theory contact cement would hold regardless of seam. Lately when I line wallets, I skive down the edged and glue anyway so all material edges are hidden. Lining the whole thing first seems to be the path of least resistance.
Awesome job! It looks great! I am new to leather working, I was wondering how long do you need to wait for your glue to tack up? How can you fix your fabric from wrinkling on the crease or high stress areas? I’m struggling to get my fabric to lay and stay flat on those crease lines. Thanks in advance and I look forward to more of your videos!
Tacking up should be just after there’s no wetness left, if that makes sense. Getting the fabric perfect and flexible areas it’s tough. As far as securing it, the veneer rollerIs a handy tool
I've found the cheap harbor freight spray adhesive to work best for this. I like the spray pattern. Doest seep thru. And it's as strong as it needs to be. 3m 77 is my second choice. 3m 90 will work but is def wrong for this as he found out
Ill have to check that out. I just restocked super 77 yesterday but have a HF up the road. I Recently I went down the flannel rabbit hole and 77 is great so far.
Hi nice video. I'm new to this hobby. Would you do a video on how you painted (and types of products used) the stars and if they were sealed, with what and how to do it? Thanks!
Hello! Well, it's been almost two years since you uploaded this video. Are you still using this same spray adhesive and if so, are you using 90 or 77? I'd like to know either way and the reasons, if you have time and don't mind answering. Any observations would be great, such as whether or not it stained or discolored over time, if everything is still holding together, and so on. Thanks in advance, and thanks for these videos!!
These adhesives tack in a very short amount of time. I just go be touch. When its tacky to the touch you can join them. As far as one being better, 77 tip is a mist style where 90 is more of a wide stream. 77 is good enough for leather/fabric. 90 is stronger. Think adding emblems and trim to cars strong. Because of the spray pattern, I use 77 now.

Do you know of any TH-cam post that describes that?
Very helpful and informative!

Very humble video..makes the viewers feel at ease to ask question

I hear you. I lined a notebook cover in yellow bandana and it took on the tan of the leather behind it. I want to try maybe white first then yellow
This was very informative. Thank you for all the great tips. Very glad I watched your video sir.
Curious if you have tried the 3M 98? That's what their little adhesive chart recommends. Great video!

@@pyrosciany update on this movie?
I have used 90 on several projects from overhead liners to wall coverings to furniture. This is the only one I would recommend.
I made my way through one can of 77 and have already switched back to 90. Nothing beats it
Thank you for the tips! Edgecote--definitely going to get some!
Acrylic patent leather paint or acrylic of good quality in the tubes makes a nice edge coat.

Thanks for your time I will try the 3M thanks for the tip

@@pyrosci thank you for responding, I am getting this glue today, fingers crossed lol. I already messed up two projects with other glue lol ooppss
@@dakota070986 me too i used barge and it bleed through. i used a glue stick but i know its not as strong as this stuff
Rubber cement works great, i use it all the time. That spray adhesive is messy, barge is too strong.

@@pyrosci it's what most ppl use I think. I've just found I kinda like the harbor freight stuff a little more. But they're both great

@sue cook their are dyes and acrylics you can buy from any leather retail site or even amazon
What sewing machine did you use?
Sean Reed just the two that the good Lord gave me.
@@pyrosci that's dead funny😂😂😂😂😂
I think most use the 77 for this.
Carl Bowden I think so too. I have switched already and can verify, way better.
What’s the exact brand for 77?

Do you know to dutch name of this glue can't find it thanx

I use 77 for lining. Its good enough adhesive wise and has a wider spray vs 90s more direct shot
@@pyrosci thank you!
Champ! ❤
I noticed you didn't stitch the center fabric area. Is that necessary?
Ron Cryderman so far I have gotten away with it! Time will tell how my methods hold up.
Wow! That 3M glue works even with faux leather ?
jama01 i haven’t tried it, but its a contact cement, so you should be able to.
@@pyrosci thanks!!!
How long did you let the glue sit and tack up ?, and which glue is better the 77 or the 90 ?
