How To Get Edges Like This?

Recommended Posts

I'm more than familiar with the typical way of doing edges but I'm looking for something that would work on chrome-tanned leather as well and with softer leathers.

I get the feeling the edge is coated with some sort of rubber or melted plastic as you can see the layers blend together seamlessly. Any thoughts on what I'd need to get an edge like this?

Is it applied with gum Arabic or something like that ? I saw an article saying that the Hermes does it in that way.

It's just an edge paint that is commonly used in manufacturing. You can get it from a company like LCI

Much appreciated, thanks David.

It looks like there's not even any burnishing involved but I'll see for myself when I pick up some of this stuff to try out!
