Members the gafer Posted January 4, 2017 Members Report Posted January 4, 2017 Hi all I have been wetting my edges of the bridle leather burnishing them then putting beez wax on and rubbing that in but sometimes the edges go fluffy afterwards say a week or so but I was thinking wetting the leather would make it go fluffy so what if I just used beez wax and burnish that in what would this work like. Many thanks kev Quote
bikermutt07 Posted January 4, 2017 Report Posted January 4, 2017 Are you sanding the edges? If not the fluff will always return. I sand mine quite a bit, then lightly singe the fluff with a lighter. Then burnish, and repeat as necessary till it all lays down. If you are talking about bag straps, I understand it's near impossible to get the fluff to stay gone. All the stretching and pulling makes it hard to have a lasting smooth edge. Take all of this with a grain of salt for I still consider myself a novice. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
