When you Don’t Know!

I watched a video by Nigel Armitage Leather, on applying edge coat. While the edge coat was still wet, he burnished the edge. I have tried it and it works really good for my level.
  Now the dangerous point, I started thinking! 
would that also work for say an acrylic painted edge? Turns out, it does work well. 
  I did a toconol finish and a waxing after letting the paint to dry. 
   Durability? Don’t know, but it is on a working piece, so I will find out!…cheers!

I'm curious... what kind of "edge coat" was Nigel using?

I’m not sure, being from England. But I have done it with Fiebings with good results. I am a hobbyist, not trying to sell anything.

After several weeks and trips, I thought I would give an update. 
So far, the edges are holding up nicely. 
the “ antiquing” was also done with the acrylic paint, though it did leave a faint shmear,  its not really noticeable.
