How to Use

Flesh to flesh shortcut. The same one-sided wet application that works on 330 works on 315: apply to one surface only and press the other piece directly into the wet adhesive — no waiting. Confirmed by Renia. Works for flesh-to-flesh bonding only. For grain side surfaces or mixed materials, use the standard two-sided application.

Same working principles as 330: apply thin and even, allow approximately 20 to 40 minutes to dry until clear, press firmly together. Maximum bond strength after approximately 2–3 days. Water-based, no fumes, dries clear. Thin with water if needed.

Store above 4°C at all times. Freezing destroys the emulsion — a frozen Aquilim product cannot be recovered.

Where Aquilim 315 Fits

Aquilim 315 is a universal water-based contact adhesive for leather and mixed-material work — leather, rubber, cork, EVA, PU, textile, felt, wood and metal. If you are regularly bonding leather to cork, foam or textile, or working across materials in the same build, it was built for that range.
