I'm looking for adhesive recommendations to attach leather to wood. I was considering either liquid hide glue or epoxy.
I have some fairly thick (8oz.) veg tan leather that I want to attach to a curved strip of wood. The contact area will be pretty minimal... the curved strip is be 1/2" by 6", and the piece of leather is 6x6".
Has anyone used hide glue to do this sort of thing? I figured it would be a natural choice since it would bond with the collagen in the leather quite readily. But I'm not sure that I'll be able to apply even clamping pressure along the curve, so I also thought epoxy might work better because of its gap-filling abilities.
