Members Pan5N3 Posted January 10, 2023 Members Report Posted January 10, 2023 My understanding is that Tokonole does not penetrate the same way water or gum trag do. As a result you can used it to burnish most chrome tanned leather because you polishing the Tokonole rather than burnishing the leather. I made a bag out of the OA split plank and could not burnish with gum trag or water but I was able to burnish with Tokonole. Below are a couple of videos that I found on burnishing Chrome with Tok https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGtVrUcUdYI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9TBhL0D7gI For my watch straps I either use a large clip that is designed for closing chip bags OR, I use a 2x4 that I've cut a slot into. Depends on my mood as to which I use. :-) Quote
Members RockingRA Posted March 1, 2023 Members Report Posted March 1, 2023 When I finish the edge of very thin leather, I have found the Black & Decker Hobby rafter table vice to be invaluable! I can clamp thin leather in it fairly deep, and burnish or paint the edges with no flop. Quote
