Question - how do you think it would work on say, a patch over a hole for a leather jacket? Do you think it would dry too stiff? Or would it be acceptable?

I folded a scrap of leather about 3 hours ago with hide glue. It's very flexible. It does not feel stiff at all. I mean, it's basically really thick jello. Jello is springy and bendable (think jello gigglers or gummy bears.) It sticks together quite well. I can pull my leather apart...but I also applied it to the suede side, so basically I'm just ripping out suede to separate it.
