Dear Board,
I picked up an Olympus OM-10 and some of the leatherette covering is lifting up in a couple of spots.
What is the preferred glue for resecuring intact leather covering? Contact cement, Gorilla glue, or something else entirely?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,

I would use contact cement because it will stick to even old dried out glue that is already on the camera. Remove any old flaking adhesive first.

Agree. Apply it (not too much) to both the covering and the camera body and let it dry for 6-8 minutes. The press the covering in place.
