Members Rawhide Posted December 2, 2008 Members Report Posted December 2, 2008 Bob, Out standing work again. Question: Do you slick by hand or use power slickers and the like? Comment: I would have dyed the edges of the interior pieces as well, just to give this edges a little more definition, but you're making me think I need to take some art classes to be able to draw patterns like that. Just WOW. Quote Marlon

hidepounder Posted December 2, 2008 Author Report Posted December 2, 2008 (edited) Bob, Question: Do you slick by hand or use power slickers and the like? Marlon, Here's my process: I edge, wet the edge, liberally apply Fiebings bar saddlesoap to the edge, mechinically slick with heavy canvas sparingly impregnated with Fiebings paste soap (approx 1750 rpm). Next, I hand slick with a rub stick and then dye the edges, making sure I get good penetration and full coverage (spirit dye). When the dye is dry, I wipe off the residue (re-dye anything I'm not ahppy with), slick again mechanically with parafin coated canvas (1750 rpm), remove the residue with a cloth, polish with a clean, dry soft cloth. And there you have it! I will say, however, that this process is continually evolving as I learn new tips and discover new products and methods. Hope this helps....
