Edge finish

Recommended Posts

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

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.
