TonyGreen3455 Report post Posted October 19, 2022 Gents, can you explain to newbie what is the difference between Fiebing's edge dye (pictured) and common fiebing's spirit-based dye? looking for a proper edge paint and found that fiebing's has two colors only: black and brown tubes with a sponge applicator. suddenly found this on the Abbey England website and they offer it in a range of diff colors. so, is it a common paint or "special" - for edges only? what makes it "for edges" if so?

Hardrada Report post Posted October 20, 2022 Don't use spirits-based dye: as it says, it is PENETRATING and it'll run off your edge into the adjacent portions of the leather, ruining the project. Edge dyes (i.e. Fiebing's Edge Kote) are polymer-based dyes that will coalesce on the edge and remain there till wear and tear removes them or you sand/rub them off.
