dear all, i've been struggling very long with my edge finishing i keep wondering if it's the problem with my edge paint or my techniques i normally try to sand the edges down first, and then apply one or 2 coats of the edge paint. then i will use fine sandpaper to sand it down and then apply again with a handheld roller applicator is this the right way? i want to let my products have the proper finishing because I normally don't work with veg tan that uses a burnishing tool any advice is very very much appreciated..

Lizard & Goat Wallet
aldebaran1981 replied to thefanninator's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
looks stiff. it's not stiff right because being goatskin it should be soft. -
dear all, been a while since I last posted. I have made a few wallets already But either the quality of my workmanship, or the type of leather I have been using has been preventing me from making real quality wallets I would like to know if anyone has made a full wallet out of goatskin or should goatskin be only be used for the interior part of a wallet? anyone has any samples of their goatskin wallets? I'm gonna post a few pictures of a wallet's interior which I am very curious about what material it is and whether during the construction process, is the backside of the leather being left bare or has 2 layers glued together? This guy's work is impressive and has inspired me to work harder! thanks!

Gluing Pigskin Lining To Leather
aldebaran1981 replied to aldebaran1981's topic in All About Leather
is the yellowish rubber glue same as contact cement? because I have mainly the yellowish smelly rubber glue and white latex glue -
Hey guys, What kinda adhesive is best suited to glue pigskin to leather? Latex glue? Rubber glue? Do I glue the whole sheet of leather to the pigskin? Do i need to stretch the pigskin abit if I need to have the leather to fold into a flap to prevent wrinkles? Thanks for any inputs!
