Burnishing and Edge Kote

[Columbiar]

Just received my edge kote and instructions say to burnish before using. Problem is if I burnish with gum trag, won't this prevent the leather from soaking up the edge kote?

In my experience with edge kote it has absolutely horrible rub off problems when it gets wet. I burnish my edges with saddle soap and dye with whatever color pro dye I am using. Yes if it is burnished it wont absorb the dye well so I use multiple coats.

Being a solvent based paint, that sits on top of the leather, Edge Kote should stick to gum trag treated edge OK, as long as you don't overdo the gum. And use no wax of course. 

But there are much better ways than Edge Kote, which look better, and last better. Like HWH suggests.
