Members bylinesupplyco Posted August 5, 2015 Members Report Posted August 5, 2015 I have been looking at various ways to dye my edges effectively. I have spoken with a few craftsman who use the setup below. Anyone know where to get these tweezers along with the material (seems like wool cloth or something close?) Quote

Contributing Member Bob Blea Posted August 5, 2015 Contributing Member Report Posted August 5, 2015 I'm pretty sure you can get the hemostats / clamps at Harbor Freight. I know hobby shops usually carry them because they are very handy for building models. Quote
Members howie696 Posted August 5, 2015 Members Report Posted August 5, 2015 Just use a plastic clothes peg Quote

Members AndersenLeather Posted August 6, 2015 Members Report Posted August 6, 2015 I would stay that that way of dyeing the edge is very old fashioned. Try this instead http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=64853&view=&hl=&fromsearch=1 Quote
Members RCE1 Posted August 8, 2015 Members Report Posted August 8, 2015 I use a heavy-ish rubber o-ring or even a rubber band around any pair of tweezers to keep them closed like that. Quote

Members johnv474 Posted August 12, 2015 Members Report Posted August 12, 2015 A small pair of vice grips would work, as would binder clips. Quote
Members MudBugWill Posted August 12, 2015 Members Report Posted August 12, 2015 seems like a good way to dirty up your roach clips ; ) Quote

Members TheCyberwolfe Posted August 27, 2015 Members Report Posted August 27, 2015 The old-school method Al Stohlman describes in his books is a clothespin holding a chunk of felt, like that used for a saddle pad. Quote
Members howie696 Posted August 28, 2015 Members Report Posted August 28, 2015 The clothes peg works great, most here are over complicating a simple process Quote
