Do you have a camera that is looking a little shabby? 

Is the leather coming off of your vintage camera?

Give it some new life with new leatherette.

You're buying 1 Sheet of replacement self-adhesive leatherette - 190mm x 140mm (approximately 7 1/2 inches x 5 1/2 inches)

It is approximately 0.7mm or 27 mil thick.  

It has a nice soft textured feeling.

Cut it easily with scissors.

Tips:

Remove the old covering first and use it as a template to cut out the new leatherette in the proper shape and size.

Before applying - it is very important to remove the old glue / adhesive completely. You CANNOT put this on top of the old glue.

Tips to help with old leatherette and glue removal:

• Heat up the old leatherette a bit using a hair dryer - more of the glue will stay on the old leatherette. 

• Use nail polish remover (non-acetone) and a rag and/or q-tips to help scrape off the old glue.

• Patience - sometimes (not always) it will take some time - but it can’t be stressed enough how important it is to get the old glue off.

Application tips:

• Make sure everything is at room temperature.

• Removing buttons, levers or memo holders may be needed for proper application.

• One trick you can use is to spread a drop or two of hand sanitizer on the adhesive side - this will allow you to position the leatherette more easily - once the sanitizer evaporates the adhesive gets sticky again.

• Tweezers or something else small will help to push it into the small nooks and crannys.

• Occasionally on tight bends, you may need to add a drop of glue to ensure solid adhesion.

• Once you're sure of the positioning press firmly to get the best adhesion - you may need to keep it pressed down for a minute while you wait for the hand sanitizer to evaporate.

• Please let the camera sit for a couple days after finished - this helps everything to set.
