edge dye applicators

[Lindsay John Ross]

I have seen edge dye applicators that are not the normal round woolen head on a wire but elongated so that the dauber will not slip off the leather edge whilst applying. Amaost like a thick short pencil. Cant think where I saw them but I do know that I would prefer to use the " woolen" sort as felt does not hold enough dye for my purpose. Any ideas will be welcome.

I have been using walmart brand foam brushes for painting; using them for dying the edges of the saddles and tack items that I make, you have to be rather careful because th brushes hold a lot of dye and it can drip or run if you get it too heavy. the nice thing about them is the cost is about $1.00 for a bag of 20 or so brushes. good luck
