Where To Buy Quik Slick?

[evandailey]

So I wnt to the store and bought some personal lubricant. Turns out there is a lot of explaining to do at the cash register just to buy this stuff.

I lubed up the edge of a piece of leather and started rubbing...

So what is your take away from the experiment? I can't really tell the quality of the result from the picture.

I will need to do a little more but it did work pretty well. I Just did it quickly, so I did not have time to really do a nice job, but the edge I got looked pretty good. If I have time I will try tonight to do a better test.

All I can says is that I hope one of the two of you are mistaken. I am not positive, but I am guessing that wallpaper paste makes a bad personal lubricant. Gives the term, "Stuck on you" new meaning.

Bwhahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaa So many one-liners -- so little space <g>

We almost need to start a list of edge dressings for slicking and burnishing.

Intended and labeled leather stuff off the top of my head are Gum Trag, Ron's edge dressing, QuikSlik, I believe Bee Natural has one, and diluted LCI Neutral Case.....

Not leather labeled off the top of my head - dilute Elmers glue, Corn Huskers Lotion, KY, Corona (the veterinary salve, not the beer),Future floor wax... keep adding to it folks!

Water.

It seems some are buying their edge finishing products at the Adults Only Store or the drug store. I ordered the real deal from Sheridan and just so you know, it says right on the bottle, "Quik Slik." So far in my testing, it looks like this may be my "Go To" edge dressing. I have a homemade power edge machine patterned after the Weaver machine. I have a wool felt drum and a wood drum that fits the machine and the Quik Slik seems to work best on the wood burnisher. The Quik Slik also accepts dye and Neat-Lac as a top coat and seems to keep everything slicked down during the process.

so what ever happened to testing the personal lube? for slicking edges that is and what is in the WYO Qik Slik? im still using the good ol Saddle soap method but id like an alternative if there is a better one....

[electrathon]

I played with it a little and it does work, but I do like glycerine saddle soap better. It is still one of the best ways I have found to burnish. I must admit though, saddle soap is not near as much fun to talk about as personal lubricant is.

In this case we may need to follow up with some Wallpapper Paste..

This is a very informational thread, Now I have found another use for Quick Slick provided the reverse is true, if Astroglide is good for slicking edges, then Quick Slick ...... I would recommend you not try any of this with Gum Trag.
