Yes, that's it. It's a shame you fellas didn't get on-board as I now have more paint than I can possibly use. I could probably sort you out with a little sample to try out but it might not be worth it considering the cost of international postage.

It's a quality paint and nice to work with but does require multiple coatings to achieve the best finish so if you're impatient like me, it can be annoying having to wait for it to dry between coats. I haven't personally been using a heated tool to set the paint, as I don't own one, but I believe this is part of the usual process and helps to smooth it out. I leave a lamp on next to the painted edge to speed up the drying, then i use fine grit wet & dry to sand it smooth. Repeat this process 3,4,5 times or more until the edges are even, apply beeswax and polish with a cotton cloth. This produces good results for me but I' be interested to hear from anyone else with more experience.

Applying the paint actually requires quite a bit of care as it can occasionally bleed over the edge and ruin a piece unless you're quick to wipe it off.

The 'professional edge paint' being sold by Tandy may be worth trying. It's made by an italian company called Fenice, and I remember seeing it sold on a few European trade websites.

Hi edd, where do you live? I was given a quote from beraud and the prices for the paint are reasonable, but the shipping to the US would be 100 bucks. I am using the rebranded fenice paint from Tandy, and it works well enough that I may just give up on the idea of getting the beraud paint.

Ordered this paint from Beraud and got it delivered to UK. It still cost an arm and a leg to get it delivered - 3 times as much as the actual price of the paint, but it was totally worth it - the paint is very easy to work with and Fiebings Edge Kote is nowhere near in terms of the look and feel, compared to this one. The only problem is its shelf life, as I'm not sure I will find that much use for 1lt of black and 1lt of red paint by the time it goes off. So if anyone wants some Beraud paint within UK, do let me know.

Mart, If you have tried Fenice paint, or are willing to try it out, it would be nice to compare this with Beraud. I use the Fenice paint, rebranded by Tandy, and it's pretty good.

Bump for anyone still searching and experimenting.

Also while perusing the Mando.fr web site I found this:

http://mando.fr/fr/consommables/349-ocres-pour-gomme-arabique.html

I haven't tried either of these products.

Hi Mart, I was wondering if you still have some ink; I'd like to buy some to give it a try.

If not, I think I'd buy to Beraud, so if someone wants any colour we can distribute it in portions. I'm from Spain, so maybe heavy shipping is not as expensive as the US or Canada.

Hi Enrique, I've still got plenty and almost a year later the paint looks good. How much do you want? Royal Mail seems to offer quite low prices on deliveries to Europe, so I can send you up to a few hundred millilitres. I am also planning to buy more colours (once I find a reliable source for exotic skins in Europe) and we can always split the cost. Let me know.
