  1. I think is is BECAUSE the person doesn't have a background in chemistry or paint that they are asking on this forum how to do it. Seems like they are looking for someone who DOES have that background and already DOES make their own edge paint (without paying the really high premiums of many manufacturers) to help them figure out how to do it. No offense, but it seems obvious the person is not asking to be told to just go out and buy it.
  2. Thank you. I will do that.
  3. Hi. Does anyone know where I can find combination heel toplifts with the similarly cut rubber portion (angled across) with no dovetail? Like photo, but not JR. I have several clients asking for this look. Thanks!
  4. Hi, I plan to swap these two belt straps, and I am new to working with leather. I plan to use a saddle stitch. Can anyone recommend what thread would match the original in terms of weight, text, size, brand, etc.? Also, I may end up dying the brown strap black at some point in the future, so non-synthetic thread that will take dye would be great. Thanks.
  5. I always hear that mixing Fibings and Angelus dyes has bad results. I am wondering what that result is? a color issues, bad chemical reaction, etc. Same for SUEDE dyes? I am wondering because I need to darken my only green suede dye (Angelus), and the Fiebings Suede Black just happens to lean green, and very similar to the hue I desire. It would be just perfect if I could add that instead of the Angelus Black which leans a totally different way. I tried a swatch and it seemed to work.. wondering if there really is a bad result, and is it something that would show up later?... like causing the dye to do weird things as it cures, etc... Thank you. I would love to hear from someone with first-hand experience. Thank you.
