I am re-covering my father-in-law’s prewar Argus C3 as some of the leather(ette) is missing and the rest is coming off. The glue underneath it is not like other camera leather glue I’ve used. It’s almost rock-hard, black, and none of my usual solvents is softening it. I’ve tried denatured alcohol, mineral spirits, acetone, and probably one or two others. Any suggestions? I think I will need to remove it to get the self-adhesive replacement to stick reliably.
