Members JIMTC Posted May 1, 2009 Members Report Posted May 1, 2009 I'm a new guy and this is my first posting. We are a small shop that manufactures tack and some of our products have painted edges. I'm not satisfied with Weavers edge paint. Any suggestions on something that will not chip when the leather is bent or flexed. Quote

Members CampbellRandall Posted May 1, 2009 Members Report Posted May 1, 2009 Weaver's paint is made by a company in Texas. There are a few other domestic makers, but I havent used them exept for Fiebings. Some of our customers in luxury belt & bag industry came to us for other options, so we've been importing and Italian edge paint that has done well. It's latex based, so easy cleanup, but its durable. You can peel off the dried drippings from the bottle and stretch them like rubber bands - no cracking when bent. Comes in matt finish and also glossy & glossy plus which will dry to a shine with out the need for a clear coat. Quote
Grunt Posted May 1, 2009 Report Posted May 1, 2009 Could you tell us where to get said edge paint? I looked on the Campbell Bosworth web site and could not find it. Nick Quote

I'm away from the office for a wedding, but I can post some links to the color charts and brochure when I get back Monday. Quote
Members skip Posted May 2, 2009 Members Report Posted May 2, 2009 Looking forward to your post on Monday, wish I knew about it sooner. thanks for the information ahead of time. Quote
Members kevinhopkins Posted May 2, 2009 Members Report Posted May 2, 2009 Hi, Midwest CHemical in St. Louis also manufactures an edge dye that we've had quite good success with. Kevin Hopkins Quote
esantoro Posted May 2, 2009 Report Posted May 2, 2009 Ahh, the "Edge Paint" plot thickens. Will Carlos of LCI fade into oblivion among the jobbers? Will Campbell Randall introduce us to a new and even better product (And where have they been on this topic for the past year?)? Will Midwest Chemical of St. Louis come shining through? Stay tuned till Monday. ed Quote http://www.waldenbags.com http://www.waldenbags.etsy.com
Members Rawhide Posted May 7, 2009 Members Report Posted May 7, 2009 I prefer Fiebing's Oil Dye... it penetrates deeply and I coat with a mixutre of Resolene and Leather balm with Atom wax... I've had pretty good luck with this combination, plus I can choose the edge color, it doesn't have to be black or brown. Quote Marlon
