I would like to know what is the best method of attaching leather to glass. What is the best glue to use and are there any precautions that I need to take?
Yes, as @Fadi mentioned, test some samples using solvent based contact adhesive, just make sure you clean the glass thoroughly prior to testing, even fingerprints can leave oils that reduce bonding.
If you don't have any luck there, many new gel superglues on the market contain rubber as an additive to reduce it's brittleness, so this may be a viable alternative (watch for fumes!).
Can I ask what project you are working on here? Sounds interesting.
I have a lot of leather samples that were gifted to me and would like to use them with a different medium. This will be either I love the way this turned out, or I'm never doing this again.🙂
Now to answer your question, I have personally done it using solvent based contact cement.
Precautions to take are the same as with all leather bonding, sand the leather surface you will be gluing and de grease it if needed. Sanding the glass itself will not change a thing in my opinion as glass as a material is the same throughout (i.e it is as chemically inert on the outside as it is on the inside).
The "Say Hello Before Posting" section is to introduce yourself :)
I will move your post to the "Help" section so that other members may help you with your question.
In the meantime, I would suggest you edit the title on your post to something like "How to glue leather to glass" so that members know it is help you seek.
Also, may I suggest you make a new post where you introduce yourself :)

Thanks Much!
