Camera leather and leatherette deteriorate with time. When the leather begins to peel, split, or get sticky, it is an indication that it needs replacing. Polar Bear Camera now offers a robust leatherette replacement. It's straightforward to work with; just cut and place. The leatherette includes a high-quality self-adhesive layer from 3M, the world's leading adhesive manufacturer.
Replacing the camera leatherette requires time and patience. Cardstock, plastic cards, and bamboo sticks are suitable options for removing degraded leather. Avoid using any metal tools to protect the paintwork. Do not pour liquids or solvents on the camera. Use cloth or kitchen towels as a medium. Remove all of the old glue and sticky residue before applying the new leatherette.
