@stevieb wrote:@Jen44 I remember when the bag with flawed handle connector loops was new and there were lots of products being discussed that seemed to work, but I don't recall the names of any of them. I did, however, Google leather sealant for handbag handles and lots of hits turned up. Perhaps one of them will have the information you seek, if no one here remembers a name.
@stevieb @Jen44 Here are a few examples below .
These are not my bags.
I only had a few cracks Starting and used e6000
clear adhesive to fill in between the cracks. I applied
it with a toothpick ! I didn't want mine ending up like
the ones in these pics. I have several Roma 2s and
only the Brown Snake had a few minor cracks.
These bags look pretty bad !
Maybe if all the cracked area is removed, several
coats of Edge Kote can be applied to help restore
them. Finding a good Edge Kote color match
might be tricky !
I wonder if anyone that has a R2 with this problem
has had any success in repairing them .

Thanks for posting @MorningLover. I recall some of the horror stories. I guess I've been lucky as none of my Romas have shown signs of cracking... at least not yet. I remember at the time quite a few buyers were fit to be tied, justifiably feeling that a bit more should've been done in the way of product testing and quality control. I recall too, though, that the products you mentioned seemed to resolve the problem for many and then they redesigned that part of the bag for the version that followed.

I can't use the notifications on my PC at work, but thanks morning lover for sharing the pics below. I bought some Roma 2s from eBay, and I haven't used them yet. I wanted to try to seal the parts with "known cracking issues" before I do use them to try to prevent it.
Thanks again!
