I just got a good deal on a Mamiya RB67 on ebay and it takes great pictures. BUT... There seems to be goo oozing out from under most of the leatherette coverings. I think a previous owner tried to reglue the covering with a little too much zeal.
I would like to get some new coverings but none of the web sites I know cut leather for the RB67. Before I try cutting my own leather; Does anyone know where I can buy precut leather for a Mamiya RB67?

First off, try to peel the existing leatherete n see if you can clean off the glue he used? If this works, use the thin double sided tape that looks like Scotch tape to put it back on again.

If you can't get the glue off, buy a sheet of leatherete from Micro Tools. Use the existing stuff as your pattern. Cut with a sharp scisor and it'll look good as new.

.

If you destroy the old existing... E-mail me if all else failed?
