Glue for leather to plastic
The gear gaiter surround on my wife's Clio has come loose, the front clips have snapped off but the back ones are ok.
Thing is we're selling the car in a week or two so can't be bothered with the faff of unstapling the gaiter etc so hoping I can just glue it? Not sure what to use though. Btw when I say 'leather' it's a standard 7 year old Clio so might be PVC or something less genuine. Ta. |

Re: Glue for leather to plastic
Hot melt glue might do it
Just buy a stick and heat it Araldite will do it I guess

Re: Glue for leather to plastic
Lots of multi-purpose multi-surface glues in tubes on the market too. Any DIY shop, Wilkinson or Robert Dyas will have one suitable.

Re: Glue for leather to plastic
Never known araldite melt anything
Polystyrene glue is the only glue I've used that melts things, usually polystyrene
