  11. yes yes exact,be careful, however, some plastic are difficult to paint and as said by mikesc it's better to sand before. tres juste la précision du pré-poncage ou du primer.....

  16. it's exact, Tokonole is o good product water based tragacanthe but it's just good to fix fibers of the leather,it fix and hardener a litle bit leather fibers,after that there are several ways by workers .I noticed that, like Thisiszoness , using a harder wax after Tokonole/adraganthe gum and after bees-wax like carnauba makes the best shynny finish.And more durable. You can use this product https://www.amazon.com/Beall-Tools-Carnauba-Wax-5-1/dp/B0037MM4PC/ref=sr_1_4?crid=1ORXDFDATED1W&keywords=carnuba+wax&qid=1559112976&s=gateway&sprefix=carnuba+wax%2Caps%2C241&sr=8-4 or this: https://www.amazon.fr/Carnauba-qualité-Brillant-instantané-perlage/dp/B00IHW4QDK?pd_rd_w=lWvpD&pf_rd_p=a658d894-5bca-4d5c-b618-b473bca5ca47&pf_rd_r=YQ5ADJKGTDBKADKGT2Y1&pd_rd_r=c71921c9-8785-4c9f-8a57-ff8625fa49ec&pd_rd_wg=bj7s5&ref_=pd_gw_cr_simh for finishing operation and you are sure to get:obtain the best results.
  17. Tokonole is the name of the brand the molecule / product is the tragacanthe gum it's a natural gum we use in kitchen too. Yes i make me on 2 form liquid and gel as i need too make if it s for edges i use the gel if it's to make a color morethicker i use liquid.
  18. Well, i try to said clearly, so,after using "tokonole" ( in fact i use Tragacanthe gum that i prepare myself it's exactly the same product than tokonole,and i prepare it in gel and liquid ) and after burnishing when dry i use carnuba wax on a cloth and i buffing it with a soft cloth carnuba wax is quite liquid and it's very easy.The advantage of carnuba wax is the fact that it let a very hard and thin film on the surface of the edges it's enhance the glossy and it 's more durable. Yes you can colored the Tokonole with the color you need.
  19. I do that,too, it's glossy,but i finish with carnuba wax it's even brighter and more durable.
  20. Dear Sir, you're free to believe and think what you want, but I'm not a liar, if I say it works and well, it's because it works, after.....
