Barge infinity?
« on: February 15, 2020, 10:52:38 am »
Anybody use infinity for leather/wood work?  It is advertised as free of toluene and VOCs.  I like the blue tube barge, but hate the smell, and my brain can use all the help it can get.   :o  Cheers--T

Never heard of it. I might check it out of people say it works just as well. I use the Woodweld brand of contact cement.

I've never used or heard of it but I'd be interested in what you find out. I also use Weldwood contact cement but would love a glue for leather that doesn't smell so bad.

Well, I found a 2 oz tube on ebay (Amazon only sells it by quarts, and I'm reluctant to fork out that much coin until I know how it works) so I ordered some.  I'll let you know how it works.  And how it smells.

OK, this stuff definitely smells a lot better than regular Barge. Is it as strong?  I've only done one small project with it, but so far I'd say it seems to be.

Only downside is that it's normally only available in quart cans.
