myleatherstrap Report post Posted April 7, 2011 Currently i have made watch strap and i would like to have the edge like many others. I have use different kind of edge dye like kote, gum tragacanth, beeswax but none of them (except beeswax has some effect) to produce rubber feel(hopefully i have describe it correctly). Recently i have seen Fiebing Edge Dye & Applicator, anyone has use it before. Can anyone kindly provide me some advices. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jazznow Report post Posted April 7, 2011 i had problems with finishing edges, too. At my last series of bags i had some success with gum tragacanth. i aplied it with a brush (only a thin coat) and let it dry for 1 minute. Than i rubbed the edge with a piece of an old cotton belt (pressure and speed). I repeated that for several times until the edge was nice and smooth. Maybe that helps a little...
