Barge cement

[harpman]

Anyone know if Barge cement is sold locally, like lowes, homedepot, hobby shops ? etc...thought I would check here before I start on a mission...I do have some glue from Tandy, but wanted to try this too, I'm going to be making a rifle scabbard from 10 oz, and am thinking I would want the strength of barge cement.

The only place i have found barge cement is tandy leather or leather factory.
I can only get it by the tube because leatherfactory requires a haz license for the quart size.

you might try some gorella glue(spelling sucks) which you can get at any hardware store.

Many shoe repair shops carry it. I get it locally that way.

Hobby Lobby had it.  small tubes

I have used all brands of contact cement over the years and any good quality glue works as well as Barge does when applied correctly in my experience (45+ years now and still counting  - in fact I have been using the Tandy Brand for several years now since it doesn't dry out in the can as quickly as Barge does. IMO one should also get a can of the correct thinner - went the glue gets so thick it starts forming "strings" thin it back some.......

You can get it from Zack White Leather in tubes or bigger containers.

My local ACE hardware store carries it in tubes

My Ace Hardware has it also. For what I do I don't like Barge much, too messy. For gluing holster edges before sewing I prefer DAP contact cement. Dries much faster than Barge, easier to use. Plus you can pull it apart if you really have to. Comes in cans but I prefer the little plastic bottle with the brush inside. For gluing linings the Barge is probably better, but I rarely do linings.
