i am having a hard time getting a peice of plexiglass to stick to wood cover in a leather material. i used a really strong duck tape and that didn't work so i double taped and that still didn't work so then i used superglue and that didn't work. i'm running out of ideas. the problem i think is, it's heating up and causing the adhesive to give way. any suggestions on what type of adhesive i can use?

I tend to use contact cement. It is much more resilient than epoxy.

..a peice of plexiglass to stick to wood cover in a leather material...


So, you can't get plexigass to stick to leather? Or you can't get the leather to stick to the wood? Or you can't get the plexiglass to stick to the wood?

Plexiglass to Leather/vinyl...use
If you want clear/semi-clear glue because of visibility, go with a 2 part epoxy or clear silocone.
If you don't care about the color/not visiable, go for Gorilla Glue or JB-Weld or white silocone calking.

Leather to wood...use
If you want clear/semi-clear glue because of visibility, go with a wood glue or clear silocone.
If you don't care about the color/not visiable, go for Gorilla Glue or JB-Weld or white silocone caulking.

Plexiglass to wood use.....
If you want clear/semi-clear glue because of visibility, go with a 2 part epoxy, but mix the epoxy with less hardner. It will take longer to dry, but will be more "watery" and will spread/soak into the wood better, or use clear silocone glue.
If you don't care about the color/not visiable, go for Gorilla Glue or white Silocone caulking

yeah after reading what i wrote, it didn't seem so clear to me either. lmao.gif the wood is wrapped with a leather material and i'm attaching the plexiglass to the leather material that is wrapped around the wood. so i'm looking for a glue or tape that will hold the plexiglass up to the leather material.
