Use to prep leather, canvas and other fabrics for handmade goods like bags, wallets, belts, key fobs, and leather crafts.\n\nHealth Benefits of Water-Based Adhesives:\n-Water based have no toxic chemicals (VOC's)\n-Eco-friendly\n-Odorless\n-Safe to work with indoors\n-No fire or explosion risk\n-Less waste and faster production process\n-Less harmful to environment\n-As water based is fully REACH compliant, many countries are beginning to require water based adhesives in manufacturing environments due to harmful off gasses (VOC's).\n-When working with solvent based glues and cements (Barge) you should use a ventilation system and wear ventilated masks, particularly when you are in small spaces.\n\nProduction Benefits of Water-Based Adhesives:\n-(Barge) Solvent glue is ~85% volatile VOC, and only 15% resin (the glue). So 85% evaporates.\n-(Intercom) Water based is 50% glue content, and 50% water.\n-(Intercom) 3x more concentrated, so you need a lot less. You need to apply a lot of Barge because it is mostly VOC.\n-Even though the price of (Intercom) water based is higher, (Barge) Solvent glue is actually more expensive by volume as it is less concentrated and therefore you need more glue during application. And when using a spraying system you can save up to 5x the amount of glue, as spraying is more efficient than hand application.\n-(Intercom) Water based can be reheated if dried. See glue descriptions for more info.\n-(Intercom) Water based glue does not effect leather grain color.\n-(Intercom) Water based keeps the leather flexible and soft, unlike solvent glues that will stiffen leather.\n-(Intercom) Water based glue systems require significantly less maintenance.\n-The strength of water based glue can be permanent or non-permanent and can reach equal strengths to solvent based glues. \n\nBuckleguy is a 1-stop shop for leather craft materials, including brass hardware, tools, thread, supplies, and leather from leading tanneries across the world.\n\n►Get Brass Hardware: https://www.buckleguy.com/hardware/\n►Get Leather: https://www.buckleguy.com/leather-working-supplies/\n►Get Tools: https://www.buckleguy.com/leather-working-tools/\n►Get Supplies: https://www.buckleguy.com/leatherworking-supplies/\n\nAs always, please give us a call or shoot us an email with any further questions!\n\n#Buckleguy\ninfo@buckleguy.com\n1 978 213 9989\nhttps://www.buckleguy.com","description_short":"►Get Intercom Glue: https://www.buckleguy.com/intercom-leather...","length":"06:19"}],"featured":{"id":"ui13MR-woYo","title_short":"Using Water-Ba...","title_long":"Using Water-Based Adhesives for Leathercraft | Intercom vs Barge","description_long":"►Get Intercom Glue: https://www.buckleguy.com/intercom-leather-glue-and-machines//\n►All Leathercraft Supplies: https://www.buckleguy.com/leatherworking-supplies/\n\nAn overview of Intercom Ecostick Leather Glue and water-based adhesives and how they compare to solvent-based adhesives like Barge Cement.
