What company is LCI ?

Cheylor-Fenilli has an edging product that works great. I don't know what it's called because there are no words on the bottle. I always thought Aussies could read and write, but maybe not. Any way, I got some from Keith Johnstone in Wickenburg. It comes in brown or black and it does not crack. Pretty nice stuff. Keith also sold me an applicator with a little wheel on it that puts the stuff on the edge prefectly. I'm sold!Kathy

Kathy,Could you post pics of that applicator and the edging product?Thanks,ed

Anyone use Neutral Edge Kote. The price was right so I added some to a recent order. Thought it might come in handy. What would one use the neutral for? The neutral seems thinner than either the black or brown.

Also, the bottles read not to shake but to stir the contents. How would one ever stir the contents of a 32 oz bottle with the small opening. My guess is shake real well once and then pour some into some other usable container.

I think I like this neutral. If, for one reason or another, you can't get the edge you're looking for with gum trag, try two layers of this neutral, beeswax, and burnish. Very nice.

Thanks for this info, Ed. I didn't even know there was a neutral Edge Kote (Fiebing's right?). Where did you get it?

How flexible is the finished edge (without cracking)?

I've heard that some people do a top coat of resolene or somethng similar on edges. Can't speak with a hundred percent conviction but this neutral does seem pretty flexible.

Sorry it took me so long, Ed. I was off in la la land. Here are the pictures you asked for.

I received my order of LCI edge coatings. Great stuff. ed

How flexible is the Edge Kote edge? I'm looking for an edge finish method/product/etc. that will not crack or anything when the edge is bent. . . such as on a wallet edge at the fold.What's a good procedure to get a really flexible, tough edge?L'Bum

I think LCI Edge coating will hold up very well under continuous flexing.Ed

That sounds great, Ed. I wonder if there's any way to get LCI products in smaller quantities. . .
