    Bellows Replacement

    I am in the process of replacing the bellows on my 12x20 Korona and I need to know what is the correct glue to glue the belows to the front and rear bellows frames. In the future I may want a longer bellows so I will need to be able to remove the current bellows from the frames.

    Thanks

    I don't have any personal experience, but the following link has lots of info and other useful links to bellowsmaking, and mentions several types of adhesives:

    Aloha:

    The bellows for that Korona may have been affixed using a hide glue, which under most circumstances is removable by the application of steam heat. This would be the best option if you intend to swap out bellows repeated times. If you are intending on replacing the bellows and be done with it, then contact cement works great. Just follow the manufacturer instructions.
