Cover your worn bicycle saddle with real leather

Step 3Glue the leather and saddle edges.

Glue the leather and saddle edges.
Impact adhesives need to be applied on both surfaces. Use a thin nice coat of adhesive on both edges, and spread it evenly using your fingers (not so healthy maybe, but ecstatic feeling to peel it off). Let both sides to dry, for something like 10 minutes. For a better adhesion, repeat the application and wait for another 10 minutes.

Please read all the instructions and warnings on the adhesive packaging!.. They are important stuff and there are good reasons why they are there.

Hi, amazing work, but could you please explain what you mean by "Impact adhesives need to be applied on both surfaces"? Do you mean the adhesive needs to be applied to both the leather and the saddle?
