bylinesupplyco Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bob Blea Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndersenLeather Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RCE1 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
