Covering your door pocket covers in leather....warning
Do not use Loctite 300 Heavy Duty Spray Contact Cement. I chose this over the regular 3M Super 77 because it said it was heat and water resistant. First it comes out of the can like silly string...pretty disturbing at first, second it doesn't stick very well at all. I cleaned my pocket covers with denatured alcohol to remove any oil or other residue, then I gave the pocket covers two coats of silly string (it is so bad it looks like Spider Man webbed the covers to the cardboard I sat them on. I then applied the brand new leather and shaped it into the curves and it looked pretty good......waited 30 minutes and could pick up the leather right off the pocket cover.
I have glued leather and vinyl to plastic parts before using 3M 77 , this stuff is crap. BTW after reading online at Locktite's website it says to not get this wet or expose to high heat...WTH that is why I bought it in the first place. I called the toll free number and after selecting english and other menus I get a recording that they cannot take calls at this time...so steer clear of this stuff for your projects.
