See how to add strength and structure to fabrics and leather without adding weight or thickness. Corazza Reinforcement Backer is a non-stretch reinforcer with an adhesive on one side. It goes on quickly and does not add extra time to your work to glue and dry. Corazza is similar to interfacing or velodon, but quicker and easier to apply. Only available at Buckleguy.
Uses for Corazza:
• Strengthen and prevent tearing around hardware, such as tuck and turn locks with prong backs, rivets, and snaps
• Prevent stretch over time on watch straps, belts, or bag straps
• Add structure to lined bags, totes, and purses
• Add rigidity to thinner wallets without adding bulk
• Apply between layers of double-layered wet molds to add strength and stiffness
• Strengthen stitching around zipper tape and when sewing seams
How to apply:
1) Cut to size with scissors or other cutting tool
2) Peel off brown backing to expose adhesive
3) Stick to fabric and apply pressure with roller, bone folder, or other tool
4) Cut or sew through backer as needed after applying

Clever. Many possibilities for use. Thank You for taking the time to make this video.
You're very welcome!
Great and clear video! Thanks so much for sharing!
Brilliant!
Wonder if it had a printed design on it, or just a matching color, then apply to the inside of a purse or bag? Would it stand up to the day to day use and not come apart.
It could, the adhesive is quite strong. Especially if you sew it in at the edges so it wouldn't have an area to begin to peel off from.
Would the Corazzo be suitable for an ankle-strap of a sandal or to reinforce the top line of a handmade shoe? Also, You mentioned being able to hand or machine-sew the Napa+Corazzo combo. I’m always careful about gumming up my home sewing machine with adhesives, but in your experience, it’s not a problem? I was looking to order something similar to this from Italy - an adhesive-backed jersey - Do you carry anything similar? Thank you for offering this product and for your patience with my questions. This may be a really useful product for me, but the questions are to help me make sure…
Yes, to reinforce leather for stretch on the ankle strap it would certainly be a good choice. There is such a limited amount of adhesive on this backer that you should have absolutely no issue. I am not familiar with the Jersey material, so I am sorry but cannot advise!
Would this be a good replacement for nylon tape to reinforce D ring connections? Tape tends to lift when you loop the leather over.
Are you going to be sewing this inside of another strap layer or would the Corazza be exposed? If exposed would you be sewing it in at the end. The adhesive is very strong, but its not a 'permanent' adhesive. That being said if sewn or riveted in (anchored) it would stay in place as it is tear resistant.
Would this work to stop a belt stretching?
Would it gum up a sewing needle, specifically sewing machine needle?
Very very light adhesive so this would be fine for machine sewing without gumming!
I'm curious. I'm new to leather craft, but have done some bookbinding. Is the corazza material similar to heat-n-bond used to create book cloth from fabric?
Hi there, I've not used Heat-N-Bond myself but this adhesive does not require any heating prior to application.
@@Buckleguycom thanks, so it’s basically really wide double-stick tape 😃
This is your version of Veladon? The stuff Eric uses?
Very similar in characteristics
@@Buckleguycom Just bought some.
Can it be cut via laser?
Yes!
