Members Halitech Posted July 4, 2015 Members Report Posted July 4, 2015 what I've done is only use very light pressure then lay it on a flat surface and run my burnisher over it to eliminate the mushroom Every day you learn something is a good day. If you don't learn something every day, was it worth waking up for?
Members kkikoss Posted August 15, 2015 Members Report Posted August 15, 2015 Hello guys! can anyone please tell me the exact order of how to use these three products? The products are , first burn with gum tragacanth, after use black fiebing edge kote and finally finish with fiebing tan kote. Is the order in which I use them correct? I have read elsewhere that I must use first the black edge kote then burn with gumb and finally finish with the tan kote. so is this the ideal way to do it without leaving any black stains on the wrist skin? Thanks for your time.
Members kkikoss Posted August 15, 2015 Members Report Posted August 15, 2015 and one more and finally question : for this result. which products exactly should I use. Maybe first fiebing acrylic paint and then tan kote finish? Generaly speaking which is the best product for the perfect finally edge finish? tan kote or resolene? Thanks again!!!
Members victorl Posted September 6, 2015 Members Report Posted September 6, 2015 Hi all, newbie here just starting out and spending hours reading all the great threads here. Anyway, I've been having a problem with edging a project with 2 layers of leather. After sanding and burnishing with gum tragacanth, I can still see the seam between the 2 layers and it looks like its splitting apart in some areas as well. I'm wondering if I didn't burnish it enough or maybe I didn't glue the leather together well enough...Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Victor
Members Tayylor Posted September 12, 2015 Members Report Posted September 12, 2015 Victor, I'm having the same problem. Hope you get an answer soon.
Members platch92 Posted September 12, 2015 Members Report Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) JW, For my wallet pockets, I just put wax on the edges and lay them on the bench and burnish with a piece of canvas or blue Jean. Flip the pocket over and repeat. You could still use a wooden burnisher with the same concept. My pieces canvas and my tool roll are cheap nail pouches from the hardware store.

Members Tayylor Posted September 13, 2015 Members Report Posted September 13, 2015 Thank you, what wax do you use?
Members platch92 Posted September 13, 2015 Members Report Posted September 13, 2015 Paraffin until I get some beeswax. It can be found by the Mason jars/canning section of like walmart or stores like it.
