I'm not sure I want a "tenacious" bond!  I want something that is going 
to allow me to remove the leather at some point in the future (I may 
get sick of dark-red lizard ;) so a contact glue (or somesuch bond) is 
out.  Classic camera repairers appear to use amber shellac, with 
pliobond (rubber cement) as a close second.  The rubber cement 
appearantly leaves a smell of rubber... which I'd rather do without.
