Members thekid77 Posted October 5, 2014 Members Report Posted October 5, 2014 Does anyone have any suggestions on how to burnish leather inside tight corners (90 degrees and less)? normally, I just use a piece of canvas or wood slicker, but if the angle the leather is cut at doesn't allow those two things to get in to burnish the leather, what do you guys use?

Members billybopp Posted October 5, 2014 Members Report Posted October 5, 2014 I have a burnisher with a curved but fine point on the end. You have to burnish from front and back separately rather than both at the same time, but it works. Bill Quote
Members chiefjason Posted October 6, 2014 Members Report Posted October 6, 2014 I've got a hole burnisher from Pro Edge Burnishers that has a fine point to it. If that does not work I use a modeling spoon I keep around for detailing my holsters. Like Bill said, you have to do front then back. And if you can't get the edge you want with liquid, try rubbing some wax on the edge or on the tool. Quote
