Yea. The only thing is to have some alcohol handy for cleanup purposes.

Good old Pliobond ... rubber cent has been used for gluing leather  for years (shoe repair coblers used it ... remember them). You spread a thin coat on each surface allow to dry until each piece is still a bit tacky. Then adhere toether ... Makes a very strong bond and because of the solvents used in it you might also get a buzz while using it. Not recommended for use with children in the area.

I've used 3M spray adhesive for similar things - leather to headstock. Spray a coat to each surface, let dry til tacky and mount.  No bumps like with glue or rubber cement and it should last forever.

Thank you for the ideas, people. Should I note that I want to spray a clear coat type finish when done.

 

Ted, I have used the 3m stuff often, good spray adhesive for the price.
