Default Glueing Amadou to Leather??
I want to glue some amadou to a folded piece of leather... but what glue to use? I fear the amadou will do to the glue what it does to water..... suck it up!

Could be a silly suggestion but could you not stitch it with a needle and strong thread?

Never done it, but if I was to, I would use a contact glue like Araldite, very thick unlikely to be absorbed. Put on leather and Amadou let dry then put together. Evostick as said below would be better than Araldite, It is more of a rubber solution making it flexible. Araldite can set quite stiff.

I would have thought a thin film of contact adhesive would do the trick. With the added bonus that you can have a sniff while you're waiting for the stuff to dry.
