Hello all I am new to all this, Ive made a few wallets but am having trouble finishing the edges. I used vegtan leather on the outside and for pockets but lined with carp leather, when I burnish it the layers come apart. They are suppose to blend into one right? first I tried wetting and rubbing it with a cloth (made the best edge so far but still came apart), then I tried wetting adding some beeswax and rubbing. today I used a felt bit on my dremel and it made it a little smooth but still pretty crappy. Id appreciate if you guys could give me some advice or ideas? thanks -Lucas
