Hey Mr. Porter I have a question, I have a friend who want me to put some motorcycle patches on a leather jacket sleeves and I waS wondering how to go about doing that because the sleeves will be to hard to do by a sewing machine. Do you think contact cement will make it to stiff to move. Can you give me some suggestion it over 10 patches, thanks.
