"Glue"

[Forty Rod]

I want to attach garment thickness pig skin to garment thickness pigskin to hold it in place while I stitch it permanently.  This is for decorative appliques (sp) on a coat.

What is recommended?  One place wants to sell me "hide glue" at $7.00 for a small bottle.  Another place says commercial rubber cement is the thing to use.

I use Barge cement to hold pieces together for stitching. If I need the seam to be more flexible, I will stay stitch it with a loop of thread every couple inches or so to hold the pieces in place.
