I have the Jet clone of the Tormek. The leather has separated from the plastic wheel. Last time t tried some 3M P90 heavy duty spray adhesive that held for a while, but it is loose again. Suggestions on what to use to glue it back on?

Searched wrong first time, found Old post said to use automotive weatherstrip glue.

I gouged my leather wheel and made a repair with epoxy. I would have done the job, but I just wound up buying a new leather wheel. I have the Tormek.

If it had come-a-loose on me, I would have done contact cement (isn't that what it is called?)

I have some permatex contact cement that I am going to try.

Definitely contact cement for leather. Get the good stuff, not that new, awful VOC compliant junk.

Well the permatex contact cement meets that criteria. Has all the awful stuff and list leather for bonding.

Shoe Goo also works well for this. Available at most hardware stores.
