   I always use the hot hide glue for this purpose it has one big advantage over yellow glue (when gluing leather), that once you attach the leather to the wood it stays in place, and it is especially important if you have to glue over the edge, or a curve, then with the yellow glue you might have to press the leather down for a few minutes, in order for it to stay attached, whereas hide glue saves you this hassle.

   Gal,
   Thanks to you, and the several others. I was thinking that hot hide glue would be easier for installation.

   My leather suppliers sell me a water based contact cement for such applications.  It seems to work well.  I don't think it is anything special, I have used other contact cements too but I do like the water base types better.
