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?)

(The hemostats were just a bonus, I linked the first site I could find with locking tweezers)

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.

I use a heavy-ish rubber o-ring or even a rubber band around any pair of tweezers to keep them closed like that.

The Tandy Craftool Edge Dye Roller Pen is working well for me.

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.
