Adhesive suede for cheek weld?

I picked up a piece of black leather from the local craft supply store and used a liberal coating of rubber cement to put it on the cheek riser for my KRG X-Ray. So far, it has worked fairly well, and it's easy to remove if need be.

bullseye! Thank you WoodenPlank, didn't think to use rubber cement, perfect for this application and if I wanna pull it off it's clean.

Yep, and any residue that's left is easy to peel off. The leather I used isn't really padding, but it feels a lot better against my face than the hard plastic the cheek riser is made from. I put rubber cement around the edges at the front of the cheek riser and along the edge next to my face to keep the leather from being peeled back by my face and goatee rubbing on it. The other edges just got a healthy coating between the leather and the plastic. Bonus, the rough side of the leather can be really heavily coated with rubber cement, and it does a great job of helping adhere the leather to the plastic.
 
I use moleskin on all my adjustable cheek pieces. Works great when your sweating and cheaply and easily replaced. I have use both black and camo moleskin on my bow so I know they make it in various colors. I would check with some of the big archery supply sites such as the one mentioned above and Lancaster Archery.

I picked up some suede elbow patches at the local fabric store. They are about $10 for a set. Trim to fit and Shoe Goo to the stock. I prefer the suede to mole skin, not as rough on the face.

So it turns out the leather wasn't giving enough padding, as my stock was doing a good job beating up my face this past weekend. I have an email in to WieBad about a stock pad for the KRG X-Ray riser right now, just waiting to hear back.
