messengerbag feathers edges



Here I would need some input. To dye or not to dye, that is the question.

The whole bag will only be oiled and sealed with a finish cote. So the options would be to dye the edges in either black or brown or just leave it as is. Please ad your 2 cents. Thank you!

This is great, Thor, I would leave it. Every messenger bag out there is black or brown, this is different and I would leave it so.

It's just personal preferance of course, but I would highlite the outer edges of the feathers only with the same thing I used on the feathers. I'm not talking about antique but I'm sure you know the difference between the two, and YES leave the rest of the bag naked it's awesome. Troy

Unfortunately I'm not sure what you mean Troy.

A hi-liter is not a stain or an antique, it's a liquid like stain that gets in the cuts and impressions without the mess of a gel antique. Resist the leaves, brush on the hi-lite, wipe off the excess. Don't be afraid of it, a wet brush or sponge will take it off even after it dries. It won't be a bleeding problem because it will only be down in deep areas. Tandy has it if you want to try it.

Now that rings a bell. That's by Eco-Flo and I've seen it before just never used it. I'll look into that. Thanks a lot Troy.
