I got my Giardini from Etsy and it came from HK. I contacted Giardini and they don't have Australia re-seller. I am very beginner and find out in Highgate, WA they have workshop for beginner. Thanks Gary for the response and apologies for my late response. This is really help and I will start my project this week. I got my Giardini basecoat and paint edge both semi dense today. Will keep update.

Hi everyone, I am new and a baby in leather craft but have HUGE interest on it. For a start I would like to restore the edge of my old wallet that shows some crack and chipping on edge. Question: Do I need to sand clean it all the edge or I just sand the part of I will restore? What number I should use? Do I need base coat or can apply direct Giardini semi-dense? How many coat I should apply, 2 or up to 4 and should I sand in between? If so what number again? I read some post in here that suggest to do 4 coats with sanding in between each coat. Using 220, 400, 800 and 1500 grits. If I only use 2 coats and 800 and 1500 grits to use? Is anyone in here from Australia or could you suggest me to buy Giardini cheaper than website (edge paint cost me 9.90 plus extra shipping for 27 L) Thanks in advance.
