Replacement Leatherette Leather Cover Skin for Contax 139 Quartz Winder Grip

Description

Pre-Cut synthetic leather with a self adhesive back for the Contax 139 Winder II.
Leatherette thickness of 0.7mm or approximately 27mil.
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.
