Thanks for this Mike. BTW what did you use to cut those hard leather discs into discs? Is that just a tapered hole plug cutter?

Spread hot hide on the rough side of the large thin disc, center it over a hole with glue side up, place a small thick disc (rough side up) on the glue, and push it down into the hole. When the glue has dried, eject the button and trim the edges.
