Members DonnieBlaze Posted January 4, 2010 Members Report Posted January 4, 2010 Can any one help? What is a glass slicker and How do you use it? also can it be made from plastic? Thanks Bikerd69 Quote
RandyScott Posted January 5, 2010 Report Posted January 5, 2010 bikerd69, At the top of the page, underneath your name, is a search box containing a magnifying glass icon. Enter the word slicker and either press the 'Enter' key or click 'Search'. There are 200 threads with the word slicker in them. Look at the text displayed for each thread, it may have 'glass slicker' or the text may indicate it pertains to using the slicker regardless of the material from which the slicker is made.

Members kevinhopkins Posted January 8, 2010 Members Report Posted January 8, 2010 Hi... Normally, a glass slicker would be an actual pc of glass that is fairly substantial, and it would have a rounded, polished edge. Tanneries use one in an industrial operation to take wrinkles out of a veg tanned hide during the finishing process. I've seen saddle makers use them as well. I'm sure theres more about the darned things than I know, but at least that's my 2 cts worth! Kevin Hopkins Quote
Members TroyS Posted January 8, 2010 Members Report Posted January 8, 2010 (edited) Here's a pic to give you a better idea... This one is a Barry King slicker.... retails for about $45... It helps smooth your leather before carving... Hope it helps... Troy Edited January 8, 2010 by TroyS Quote
