Bond it back together
Ideal for repairing nicks and scratches, bonding loose tags of leather, cuts, tears and pet damage on furniture. Re-fix loose straps, edges, and linings on handbags, wallets, and steering wheels.
Easy to use
After cleaning and preparing the surface, apply to both sides of the opening. Allow the glue to become semi-dry and tacky to touch. On large gluing jobs, a second layer of glue can be applied at this point for extra holding power. This step isn't needed on small jobs like cat scratches, for example. Bring the surfaces together and hold them in place using firms, steady pressure until dry. Wipe away any excess glue from the surface. A hairdryer can be used to speed drying.
Finishing over glued areas
Glue (No.16) can be used alone or in conjunction with other repairing products and processes. For example:
- For large tears, stitch the opening closed then use a small brush to apply glue around and under the stitching to give the repair extra strength
- Glue down loose tags then use leather filler to fill any remaining pits and troughs
- Colour over leather glue and filler with leather primer, paint and topcoat

Looks like a PVA but it's not a PVA
Glue (No.16) is white and dries clear. It is not a PVA. It is a VAE emulsion based product with added chemicals that give it special properties that meet the needs of leather repair such as flexibility, softness, robust adhesion and other features. It may look/feel the same as PVA but it has different chemical characteristics that give it performance advantages over PVAs.
