Red Wax?

Recommended Posts

I'm looking for Red Wax to edge my wallets. Does anyone know where to buy some or another idea to get a red edge on wallets other then just acrylic dye? Thanks

I have not done it, but would try a red sharpie before you burnish. You could contact Carla with the Fantastic edge burnisher and see if she has recomendations. I know when they are demonstrating the burnisher and you want black edges they just use a sharpie and it works great.

This might help?

These first two links are sealing wax [for letters]. It also happens to be what we use to seal the tips of Cane drone reeds in our bagpipes. It dries hard, much like "acrylic paint" to the appearance and very much like fingernail polish.

What we do is melt it onto the tip of [sugar] cane drone reeds so that the air passes over that tip and to the reed blade on the side. In thickness, it will chip like fingernail polish though.....however, if simply 'rubbed" ont othe eddge and then sealed afterwards, I think it's doable.

Otherwise, there's red/oxblood colored shoe polish:

Candle shops can supply you with red wax. Either as candles or in bulk. If you get the candles make sure they're red all the way through and not just coated.
