Leica leatherette cover

[durr3]

I have a Leica M2 Button that looks and works great. The only thing is, The previous owner had it recovered and one little corner right above the VF selector is loose. What glue do you use when repairing leatherette? thanks

rubber cement works well. Or some sort of contact cement.

I'll throw out another glue for simple corners like that- Elmer's white glue. Lift the leather, use a toothpick to put some on the surfaces, wait a minute. Push back in place, wipe away the excess as it dries. You'll usually need to hold it down for a few minutes while the glue grabs.
