Why Edge Kote Instead Of Oil Dye Then Gum Trag Then A Top Coat?

[Tallbald]

I used the search feature to try to get an answer but wasn't able to find the latter sequence (dye/trag/top coat) so I will post it, hoping to not recover old turf. I'll be making key ring belt loop, dog collars, and other items with exposed edges. One source suggested top coating after the dye and trag treatment with beeswax and buff. What's working for a durable, resilient look please? Thanks. Don

It's in your topic title.

Less work with edge kote, that's the primary difference.

Final appearance is personal preference.

I see now. I'm not the sharpest tool in the chandelier....Don

Well, if you don't know just ask, that's what the forum is for.

I've got more than my fair share of help here.

Also, you can't finish chrome tanned leather the same way as veg tan, and edge paint becomes necessary.
