The honing wheel on my 2000 has just started to separate at the seam. The ends still align with no gap if I push the loosening end down. I'd like to simply re-glue this seam and was wondering what type of glue to use? I think this occurred because the machine was stored unused for a few years in a dry hot Southern California garage and the leather dried and shrunk a bit.
I would think contact cement. But, you might be happier in the long run by replacing the wheel.
Thanks Mike - tried contact cement and it seems to be repaired and functional. Have a few hand-plane blades to hone, and will let you know how it holds up.
