This could be the BEST addition to my workshop.

Having tested out the new water based adhesive and refillable glue bottles from One Plus One Leather over the last few months, I can safely say that they have a well deserved spot in my workshop. Find out more about these awesome leathercraft gadgets in this video!

I hope you enjoy the video.

What a brilliant idea! I’ve been using refillable marker pens for dyes and Tokenole for a couple of years, but it hadn’t occurred to me to use them for adhesive! I’ll certainly give them a try when I next need to order adhesive.

[KateMondor]

What a brilliant idea!
I really struggle with gluing. I’m clumsy, & so often end up with glue on the grain side. Will definitely be trying these.❤

[mechouilli]

Thank you so much, Jo, for the superb videos
Edit: I've just tried the heat up technicnic on water-base glue, it works wonderfully! <3

[henrymilleruk]

Could you use this with a water and Tokonol mix for edge burnish application?

[SilasKennedy]

What is the glue strength like? I use Ecostick 1816b and sometimes rely on it for places I can’t stitch. Will this do as well?

[tedblackburn]

I make such a mess with glue. It leaves spots on my projects sometimes. This is a great idea for disorderly people like me. I like it. Will definitely try it. Cheers 🙂

[Terry-ni]

Great vid!! Thanks!! Does this adhesive work as well as, Barges leather glue?? Im new to leather working.. your vids are very informative!! Keep them coming, please!! Lol. Even leather workers with experience, can always learn new techniques and just new knowledge, from you..

[wowiedunnings]

Could you use these pens for watered down tokenole?

[livingmytruth]

Nice video! My only concern with these is that over time the nib of the makers will dry and get stiff and be really unpleasant to work with. How have you found them over the long term?

[mechouilli]

This tool seems to allow a lot of precision

[dearo]

After using, do you need to wash the tip, because it would be stack with dry glue???

[jimwatchyyc]

Finally, a YouTuber not afraid to say they got something for free - most others say they got something sent to them but they hey don’t have to return it.

[MusabJilani]

This seems really cool. Is the adhesive a permanent contact cement or more of a temporary bond? I wonder how it compares to other water-based adhesives.

[Smajtastic]

Been trying to find a cheap applicator that won't splurge anywhere.

The dream is to get to a volume where having an intercom machine would be worthwhile.


UPDATE:

Received my order, I purchased all three sizes of pens and 500ml of the glue.

Arrived faster than I thought it would - I chose the cheapest shipping because I wasn't in a rush.

My immediate reaction to the glue was "wow that's thin", and of course it could have to be to flow through those felt(?) nibs.

The few test I've ran were a little here and there.

In terms of performance, you aren't going to get performance like exostick 5019n or 1816b, which is fair considering the consistancy.

Tested using 1.2~m goat and calf, if glued and trimmed the glue holds, and isn't easy to pry, however easily seperates if there's an overlapping joint, and leaves behind little residue in comparison to both ecosticks.

This is actually great if you're wanting a temporary hold before stitching, not so if you're only riveting,

This definately has a place in the workshop, and the ease of glueing large swaths of areas SO quickly really will cut down on glue jobs, and if you need that extra hold you can get from other glues, then I plan to use an alterior glue on the edges.

Win win.

As an extra thought, the machines intercom sell to roll/spray the ecostick adhesives may be even slower than using the larger pen, the only downside is oneplusone currently only sell the adhesive in 500ml bottles, would love 1l or perhaps even 5l.

[FreyGrimrod]

I use similar pens for edge dye. Love them.

[sheilbwright]

Well they couldn't ask for a more enthusiastic endorsement. I wish all Youtubers would use the product that they review after months of use it allows a more accurate and useful review.

[mechouilli]

I don't have much money, so I'll get a "Be the Maker" T-shirt from your shop

[missvelvet]

this would change my life. so tired of squeezing a glue bottle
