So many things to learn about Barge! Thank you for all the awesome tips. We plan on trying some foamsmithing so we'll give the heat gun trick a shot. In our shop we usually have the garage door open so hopefully we are ok fume-wise but weve got some respirators we can use too. So much good knowledge - thank you! -K

2018-04-13 05:56:30 +0000 UTCGreat project you two! I'm glad for you that you got to work with Bob on a project. Very cool. For many years my Dad has worked with Barge Cement (and a number of other contact cements) on a daily basis for his work. He suggested the following tips which I have used on some of my projects (in my videos) and they might be helpful to you- once you apply the Barge let it sit until it is dry, at least an hour, but that can vary depending on humidity, temp and material. Then he uses a hot air gun to heat up the entire glued surface before sticking the work piece together and hammering. This gives a super, long lasting bond. This technique works on foam as well (like for cosplay stuff). Lastly he won't work (or let me work) with any contact cement without serious ventilation and/or an appropriate respirator. He has a down draft table in his shop that he glues everything up on and it pulls the bad fumes down and out of the building. Apparently there are a number of substances in contact glues that are heavier than air so it helps to pull them downward. That stuff is pretty nasty but perhaps it was adding to your goofyness in the video ;) Anyway, great job, looking forward to seeing Bob's video next. Keep up the great work!!

2018-04-13 04:04:57 +0000 UTCThank you!! yeah we built in the tightening ability so hopefully if it sags over time it should be ok. We talked with the folks at Tandy leather beforehand and they said they think it should work!
