Edging Question

[MADMAX22]

Thanks. 

This stuff was about 3-4 oz. I would put the padding on, glue on the suede, cut it somewhat close (within half a inch of the veg tan) then stitch. After it was stitched and the glue cured over night I would take a freshly stropped edge beveler and bevel the suede edge which also cut off the excess. The suede wouldnt bunch up as bad with a sharp beveler and with that half inch or so of extra it would give a little bit of rigidity while cutting/beveling. 

After that first cut/bevel I would go back again and basically roll the beveler more toward the suede edge to cut any excess left over and get the bevel as close as possible. 

Hope this makes sense, hard to explain in words. 

Wanted to add, its not going to be perfect like two pieces of veg. But it also can look decent with a little care.

That explains it perfectly and has given me food for thought. Thanks for taking time to reply

You could try "Edgeflex" made in Italy by Fenice. www.Fenice.com.     Put it on with a proper edging roller or a cocktail stick in thin layers, two or three should do the trick. If you put it on too thick it will dry in a lump and either hang over the side or come off in bits. This gives a sort of shiny edge that's kind of hard to the touch.  If you want a more rubbery, plastic feel try  "Maxedge" also from Italy by Giardini.  www.leatheredgepaint.com.       Don't you hate this autotype feature that keeps respelling words as you type. It always puts a full stop after you type out site addresses, puts gaps in them and keeps respelling Fenice as Venice for me. Ho hum, the technology we have to put up with!
