choice of glue

I am about to replace some felt and leather on a couple of pianos.  I'm 
replacing the damper felt on an old grand and on an old spinet.  I am 
planning on using PCV-E glue for its non-wicking properties.  Is this a good 
choice?  

I understand that choice of glue often has to do with the ability to remove 
the glue later.  Both of these pianos are old enough that by the time the 
dampers need replacing again, the other parts will be dust, so I'm operating 
as if glue-removal is a non-issue.

I am also replacing the catcher leather on the spinet.  Never having glued 
leather before, would PVC-E be a good choice for this application?
