What kind of glue to repair leather on Kowa 6?

I found a Kowa Six and the leather is curling in several places. What kind of glue should I use to re-glue it? Or should I send it somewhere? Who does this?

thanks

The standard adhesive used in the camera repair industry for attaching leatherette is
Pliobond. It's readily available online and in some DIY stores.

It is a very robust adhesive, works over a wide range of temperatures, and allows the
leatherette to be removed for servicing in the future if needed without damage.
