Resolene in Refillable Marker, Edge Finish Last Step

Recommended Posts

I'm focused on my edge work. I'm now using refillable Montana 15mm markers:

I use these to apply water, liquid saddle soap, full strength Flebings Dye and now am considering using a refillable marker for applying resolene in my last step of edge work on 12-14 ounce belts. I use a dremmel burnishing wheel in between applications to smooth the edge. I'm not at the glass stage with the natural, no dyed edges yet. I burnish with the dremmel then finish the pass with denim. 

Do you have any good or bad comments on using the marker to apply resolene? I'm using full strength. Do I dilute it or is a simple full pass or two the way to go using full strength.

Guidance to include failures requested...along with your successes.

Resolene put on full strength will crack, break, peel, and go away.

Dilute it to 50% is what I've done and have had no problems since.

May God bless,

Dwight
