Tallbald Report post Posted April 11, 2014 I used the search feature to try to get an answer but wasn't able to find the latter sequence (dye/trag/top coat) so I will post it, hoping to not recover old turf. I'll be making key ring belt loop, dog collars, and other items with exposed edges. One source suggested top coating after the dye and trag treatment with beeswax and buff. What's working for a durable, resilient look please? Thanks. Don Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tree Reaper Report post Posted April 11, 2014 It's in your topic title. Edge Kote Instead Of Oil Dye Then Gum Trag Then A Top Coat? Less work with edge kote, that's the primary difference. Final appearance is personal preference. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
