Renia Aquilim 315 Odorless Water Based Contact Cement for Leathercraft with Ultra Hold and Flexible Adhesive That Dries Quickly

Great for the price. Used this to glue animal hide to itself for projects just let it sit for a few minutes to get tacky on a plate or something before using. Washes right off skin no problem. No harsh or strong smell almost smells like Elmer’s glue. Works very well. Glue has held up so far even in different temperatures.

This glue is impressive. Everyone raves about Barge but I can't stand barge. It's so stringy and messy. Sometimes you have strands stretching out over two feet which get on your project and yourself. Plus you'll pass out from the fumes if you're not in a well ventilated room. This stuff on the other hand has no small, it's not stringy or weird, think of it like a slightly watered down Elmer's Glue. Only if the Elmer's Glue was on steroids because this stuff holds incredibly strong. When you apply it you're going to want to do a thin even layer and let it air dry for about a minute or until the glue turns from white to clear. Within just a few seconds of pressing it together you'll have a solid Bond. And within a few minutes the stuff is never coming off. This is by far the best leather working glue I've ever used.

Used this to layer veg tan and chrome tan leather, and veg tan to veg tan. Works great, you can get a little bit of repositioning out of it at first too. Works great for EVA foam too, just wouldn't suggest using it to glue 2mm foam thin edge to thin edge. It's thicker than barge/dap/beacon cement, and works better on foam than whats labeled as the toluene-free low(er) VOC contact cements. Downside was that cleanup was not as easy as I'd like (not that I expected it to be easy at all) and it does smell and look a bit like liquid latex. Not sure if it has latex in it, but that may be an allergy concern to some. Wish it was sold in a bigger jar, 8oz lasted me approximately one semi extensive armor project of chrome tan backed with veg tan. So far it's held together through hot and cold weather. Definitely would recommend wiping the rim of the bottle before putting the lid on, and not leaving the bottle open for long periods of time.

I've used the 'smelly' contact cement... it was nice to make the change to this water-based contact cement for my leatherwork. Seems to hold as well as the toxic stuff and leaves no odor.

This glue works well for leather.

Love the product but it came with the lid of the bottle popped off and a bunch of the adhesive was all over the bag. There was still 2/3rds of the bottle left and it worked perfectly on the project it was needed for so I’m not unhappy with the purchase. I’m not sure if the safety film that’s normally on these bottles was taken off or if it didn’t have it in the first place. The bottle was put in a plastic bag so it seems like previous orders had similar problems and the plastic bag was a solution for the faulty lid design (to prevent adhesive from leaking out of the box). I wish the seller would’ve just taped down the lid as that might work better to solve the lid problem.

A great contact cement! Water based so there is no odor or fumes and it holds wonderfully!! Easy cleanup with water, or rub off when dry. I highly recommend it!!

I’ve recently gotten into puppet making, but needed a nontoxic glue to use at school for my students to use as they make their own puppets. Aquilim 315 works very similar to contact cement—put a thin layer on the surface of both pieces of foam where you want them to be attached, wait 10 to 15 minutes, then push the together. Use sewing clips if you are impatient to hold for a few minutes. Bonds well!

Great product, holds very well. Don't have much regarding longevity, will update if anything changes. This is a great product as my little shop is in the basement, and with it being odorless is great.

Works better than you’d expect. Glued leather to hats.
