All,
I've used the leather kits from leather.com on my '63 Black Baby and my '57 grey baby and it's pretty good stuff. I put the grey Griptec on the grey and it DOES grip and the black got their "rollei black" and it looks good. Later Ed A.

I'll bet Vulcanite could have been used in place of the tiles on the space shuttle! My second hand double stroke M3 (nearly mint except for the first owners SS# and nickname [Peanuts Warner]) had a few small pieces of Vulcanite missing. I used brown lizard from Cameraleather to replace it and haven't regretted it.
