Call up Campbell Bosworth and ask. I believe the have the dark brown matte plus in stock. I'm not sure if they have black in stock.

So I just ordered some of the edging ink from Campbell Bosworth and it should be here tomorrow. From what they said this might be what I am looking for.

Thanks so much for your help with this. I hope that this is what I will need to make my edges look nice and uniform.

Your key chains are really nice. Do you sell them anywhere or are they just for fun??

Thanks for the picture.

LCI does not do retail.

Here's my dog key chain, with Campbell Bosworth's MAtte plusin dark brown. The plus line from CB is a good product to have in your lineup. I would say that it is the most rubberized of all the edge finishes I've come across. I did three coats on the dog.

I had to cut out the dog with an exacto knife, and I didn't do a great job on sanding and burnishing the edges.

Anyone know if Weaver or anyone else can do a mallet cutting die of such an outline? I know they can do various shapes.

I've also included other photos with the matte plus, photos which show a better job of burnishing prior to the application of the matte plus.

I'm always looking for small projects to use up scraps. Certain animal silhouettes that have a bold sturdiness to them are a great idea: certain breeds of dogs and cats, maybe just the head, horses, elephants.

By the way, the plus version of this edge finish should be your only consideration.

That keychain was just for fun. I liked the shape of the dog key chain you put up and I'm always looking for things to do with scrap leather. Now, I'm interested in looking for other silhouettes: cat, elephant, etc.
