When using rubber cement or contact cement... When you coat both surfaces, you need to let them dry to a light tack. Now when you put the two pieces together it becomes a secure permanent Bond.
You have to let the rubber cement dry on both surfaces before you stick them together. Its instant and not reposition able but if you line it up right it is permanent. Sorry for the super later response here.
I recommended pilobond for the leatherette material. I read about that on many of the camera repair forums online. It’s worked great for me for many cameras.
I've had great success on MANY cameras using waterproof wood glue (Elmer's Carpenter's WoodGlue Max). It sticks well but stays semi-flexable for future repairs. Easy cleanup if you hit it with a damp rag before it fully sets.
I mean WTF---acetone on a q tip inserted into a hole coming out the other side where the rear lens element is on only 2 inches away? Damn, she has guts
Rinoa Super-Genius i guess, but it still could potentially hurt any coating on the element, I’d think. But, hey, who am I....you’re the super-genius :)
Good job! I like your videos because you post the mistakes as well as your success. Each one of these projects you learn something new, whether it is how to clean or how to apply the glue. Keep up the great work.If you like the Ikoflex, you should try and find a Rolleiflex. They're one of the most beautiful cameras(in all aspects) ever made.
I like these videos. I think the only ones I like more are of the projects you complete and the scavenging videos; but mostly the project videos where you are in your yard. Still looking forward to the video where you upgrade the fire pit; or in the very least, burn some stuff.
I wonder if anyone has done a hammertone black in place of the leatherette on a similar camera? Would make future disassembly a lot easier. But this turned out better than expected, glad it worked for ya!

Also if you use an hairdryer on the leather it softens up the leather and glue and makes it easy to peal off. Good videos. 👍

Contact cement and rubber cement , apply to both sides let it get tacky about 5 minutes than bring together in one shot.
Whilst glueing use a smaller brush.
Superb !!!
Good job ! Thanks for sharing.....

Oh, found the other video first, so commented there, nice work!
So you have a stiff knob?

Nice job on that Rin.
Can't beat vintage cameras.
Great video, more!!!!
I happy you good look after the restoration
Are you going to show us pictures you took with it?
yup, but im going to wait on the negatives for a bit so i can more accuratly judge how good or bad they are
Insert “Stiff Knob” joke🤪
Good video keep it up from uk
Next time you are going to glue somthing wear gloves so they don't get dirty.
Nice
