Leather Glue - Super Strong, Fast-Drying, Clear-Setting
Fast-drying, clear-setting, flexible adhesive for bonding tears, loose tags and pet damage.
Glue (No.16)
A fast-drying, clear-setting strong leather glue for all your leather repair needs. This Australian made and owned leather and vinyl adhesive is great for creating a strong, flexible bond.
- Dries clear
- Flexible and strong
- Water-based
- Air drying and can be force dried with care using a hair dryer, gentle sunshine or a room heater
- Can be sanded
- Is not a PVA.
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.
All types
Use as needed.
Cut a patch that is 1.5 to 2 times the size of the opening in the leather. Insert it under the opening. The patch can be anchored in two ways:
1) Glued: Apply glue to the edges of the underside of the hole. Wait until the glue is almost dry then add an additional layer. Wait a few minutes for the glue to become tacky. Join and firmly hold the parts in place until bonded. Depending on the amount of glue used, humidity and porousity of your leather, this may be minutes or a couple of days. Wipe away excess immediately.
2) Stitched: Insert the sub-patch then stitch through the edges of the leather opening and through the mesh.
Glue can be applied after stitching.
Always clean leather and vinyl before gluing. Wash up in water. Keep airtight.

Great glue to use on my small bag and wallet projects, it drys clear and fast plus it easy to use.
Saved our couch a few more years life left in it yet thanks
Looks like pva
Hi Matt, glad to hear the glue worked well for you. It looks like PVA but it is not PVA. It's a specially formulated EVA with added ingredients to improve adhesion, flexibility and sandability. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Great glue ,works well easy to apply and creates a strong bond.
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing your experience with using our leather glue.
Worked like a charm. Easy to use with excellent results.
That's great! Thank you for letting us know.
Not as quick setting nor as clear setting as stated.
Thank you for your feedback.
Our leather couch has definitely seen better days, but we needed it to last a little longer. This glue has been a lifesaver! It fixed all the small holes that were starting to appear, and it worked perfectly. I’m really grateful for such an easy and effective solution.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review. We are so happy to hear that our Leather Glue was able to provide a simple and effective solution for your leather couch. We appreciate your support.
Easy to work with and clean up. Dries quickly and has a strong bond. Leather is still fairly flexible after the repair, not like some other glues that make a hard spot in the leather.
We are thrilled that you are happy with the result. Fast drying, with a strong bond and flexibility is exactly what we aimed for when formulating our leather glue.

Thank you.
I’m an 88 year old codger and for the last few years have enjoyed Leather Work, mainly for family presents so not I’m not in the professional business. One thing that all us old codgers have to contend with having to cope with small pale type for product instructions. Your product works great as a glue but would please us oldies more if there were easier instructions. Keep up the good work Aussie’s
Thank you for your comments, John. We will take them on board. Glad the Glue gave you the result you needed.
We found the leather glue to be great and works very well, even survived through the washing machine twice, great product.
So glad our glue gave you the solution you needed.
Easy to use, works well, you don’t need much product for it to work so very cost effective for odd jobs.
So glad the glue performed well. Thanks for the kind words!
I’ve been having difficulty getting leather to stick and have tried a number of different glues, but yours has been by far the best. Thanks!
So happy to hear that. Thanks for giving us a chance. We hope you'll 'stick' with us;)
I have not used it as yet but I am sure it lives up to its name
Thank you:)
Have been Using Fieblings Leather glue and was recommended this product to try instead and even though the FOUR mentioned glue is sold in all the Leather shops I found the Leather hero to be a superior product and will be using it in the future for cracks in Leather and other Leather projects also will be trying some of the other products including the leather dye and colour from Leather hero

Thanks for sticking with us, Grant;)
Great product. Super effective
Awesome! Thank you.
After some improved gluing techniques and extra surface preparation on the smooth side of the leather, seems to bond quite strongly. I could still pull it apart on test pieces, but I think it's strong enough to repair a belt that had delaminated. Can't compare to any other leather glues on the market as this was the first. I initially thought it was just a glorified PVA glue. Although it looks and smells similar, does seem to grab and hold differently. Final results look promising, but time will tell.
Thank you for your detailed feedback. Although it looks like a PVA, it is not one. It is a an EVA with greater flexibility and holding power than a PVA.
Products so easy to use.
Thank you!
Repaired some leather on an armchair where the surface layer had peeled back. Repair was easy, stayed flexible, barely visible. Recommend.
Nice work! We are chuffed to hear that our glue sorted out the problem. Thanks for letting us know.
