This is a general purpose thanks to Doc and Firefox for their considered answers in various threads but without saying it repetitively in each of them.

I assume the last point by Dr Shoe was refering to hot melt glue causing hard ridges and not gorilla glue....

Yes. I've never heard of or tried Gorilla Glue.

Perhaps it isn't sold in the UK. Now, glue guns. I've never found the formula used in these hot glue gun sticks to be very powerful in terms of holding power. It's good for cardboard and faberic but I've never had success using it on wood or leather.

It appears to be a one part polyurethane resin see:
http://www.gorillaglue.com/
It contains at least one propietary ingredient but there should be an equivalent product over here with similar performance.

Funnily enough, polyurethane is a widely used adhesive in shoe making (and I think a constituent of evo-stik).
