Fiebings Burnishing Ink

[lowlife]

Has any one used it and how does it work for edge dressing?

I use it on shoe soles and it works good. Its thicker than dye though so I think it may be more difficult to work with on thinner projects. I don't use it on holster edges or anything like that, I just use dye and wax on those. I could give it a go and report my results if you want to know.

I did a test using two layers of about 7oz glued together. I beveled the edge applied the ink and burnished on my wood burnisher. It burnished quickly and looked good, about the same as dye but maybe even a little easier. The downfall is it is pretty thick and harder to apply with a good crisp edge. I'd maybe consider using it for black items though where its not as noticeable.

Here's a picture although its hard to really see. I probably could have got it a little better yet if I really tried but this was a quick experiment.

Thanks I was just wondering I petty much use dye with wax also from your finding I think I will just stick with that Thanks for taking the time to do that.
