Members Lorrso Posted August 31, 2010 Members Report Posted August 31, 2010 Hello to all, a customer asked for a red and a white leather bridles, english style. My fave products for coloring edges are the ones from Fiebings, but they don't produce nor a red or a white dye specific for edges. Do you have any suggestion? Thank you very much in advance! L.

Members bex DK Posted September 3, 2010 Members Report Posted September 3, 2010 What I've seen in tack with white edges is usually a lining with folded edges as opposed to a dye. In this case, you'd use a red piece in the front then white lining and the white would have folded/rolled edges that extend a little beyond the red. But that might not be what your customer means. Probably a good idea to have your customer provide pictures or examples of the desired effect. Otherwise you could consider acrylics on the edges but I don't know how well that would wear. Quote

(i will a little later today on some scraps), but i have used the first one when i needed to have yellow, red, blue, and orange for some watchbands i was making... hope it helps... eric Quote
Members Lorrso Posted September 6, 2010 Author Members Report Posted September 6, 2010 Thank you for your replies! I think I will try with an acrylic paint then sealed with Resolene. L. Quote
Members SimonJester753 Posted September 6, 2010 Members Report Posted September 6, 2010 I have little leather experience, but I'm a graphic artist. If the choice is to match the color, but risk it not holding up to use, perhaps you might want to color the edge to match the color of the horse, using a durable edge treatment. Quote
