Best glue to stick leather?

Hi folks,

Trying to repair a sofa which has been torn by my wee lad. Got the right colour of patch ok but just wonder what is the best glue to stick it as I have tried super glue and no good?

thanks a lot

Copydex says it sticks leather & it's what the sofa man recommended when we needed to repair our fabric sofa, so I think it has enough give for a sofa while still holding the material together.

evostick is pretty good.
make sure you follow the instructions to the letter.

Best to use a proper leather glue which will have been tested and will remain flexible - however I would also recommend getting this professionally repaired as DIY products rarely work and can cause expensive problems
Hope this helps

If it's on one of the cushions take it to a cobbler and ask him....

if not 'phone a upholsterer for a quote...

but I'd try the Copydex first.

Thanks for replies. It's just a cheapish 2+3 seater from homebase bought 6 years ago for £549 the pair so not worth while spending a fortune on. Just tried sticking it again with another glue and will see how it goes. Will use the brands named if this doesn't work work.

One thing I know I won't be buying another for a few years or so till he gets over the climbing over sofa stage...lol


thanks again

Having had a tube of the stuff lying around the house for many years, I'd suggest if you're trying to glue real leather, then the best adhesive is; wait for it.....
