RockyAussie Posted July 21, 2016 Report Posted July 21, 2016 This technique could be done with a hand punch if the die were made in that way in case you do not yet have a clicker press. When a zip pull tag is so small it is difficult to work on in so many ways and can be very hard to do in a short time frame. I hope for budding manufactures this will be of some help. If some think that this type of thing is not the right place in this forum please let me know and I will delete it if possible. If you think it is suitable please say so and I will proceed to show more. Quote Wild Harry - Australian made leather goodsYouTube Channel Instagram

Members Matt S Posted July 21, 2016 Members Report Posted July 21, 2016 Excellent tutorial -- often the smallest bits are the hardest. What is in your edging mixture? Quote
RockyAussie Posted July 21, 2016 Author Report Posted July 21, 2016 Firstly thanks SamB and Matt S for the positive feedback.That's not so easy to answer as the names here are different to what most would know. The Ares (italia) S.r.l. would be the main one but to get the huge colour range I mostly use the clear AR 6350 Neutro Denso and mix in pigments to get my own colours. In the U.S. the Fenice range would be the same I think and available from Campbell Randal. I commend them for having a decent colour card etc on the products unlike most. Also I use another that would be similar to the Giardini range and is good in some other respects. I need a lot of various colours and high quality properties as I hope the pics below show some. The mix is about 90% water and only to seal and colour the raw edging of the pulls in this case. It mostly absorbs in in this case and does the job well.
