tossik Report post Posted June 12, 2017 Take a look at this video, the maker is using an interesting rotary edge paint applicator, any ideas where I can find one? Also, what glue do you guys think he is using? Looks very fluid, and I am looking for something strong yet watery. Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fredk Report post Posted June 12, 2017 Not exactly the same; https://www.tandyleather.eu/en/product/craftool-pro-edge-dye-roller-pen But I got one from china for about 1/7 the regular Tandy price http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DIY-Leather-Craft-Top-Edge-Dye-Oil-pen-Applicator-Belt-Strap-Finisher-Tools-New-/132163089188?var=&hash=item1ec588b324 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tossik Report post Posted June 12, 2017 I saw those on ebay as well, but the one in the video looks very neat. Hoping someone recognizes it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ferg Report post Posted June 12, 2017 There seems to be a lot of these with a little different configurations "Out there". I have three or four different applicators, a couple just like the Tandy that I received free. The tapered Tandy style is the best in my opinion. I can do the edges of a complete dog harness in 20 minutes or less, that is one application of material. I do a sealer plus two coats of finish. I do not use the heated edge units. I think my edges are as good or better than some I have seen done with them. Just my .02 Ferg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tossik Report post Posted June 12, 2017 Any ideas on the glue used for the strap? looks very watered down. I like that as I have only contact cement and sometimes it is just too thick. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tearghost Report post Posted June 13, 2017 I use contact cement also, its the only glue I use and the way I make it thinner is to use a cement thinner that you buy from Tandy. I use a mixture of 65/35 and this makes the cement very nice and thin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As to the one in the vid, I've never seen one like that. Very fancy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sanch Report post Posted June 14, 2017 I guess for something that is thick other than alcohol-based dye these things would work I just don't see them working on any type of thin dye. My current method works for me (chunk of heavy felt clamped in forceps) but they are intriguing! Curious to know if they work with thinner media?

Dunluce Report post Posted June 14, 2017 This is similar. I have never actually orders of these people but they look to have a lovely range of tools http://elfitakorea.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/bearing-roller-for-coating.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
klstclair Report post Posted June 16, 2017 The tool used looks like one from a French company Eprose. You can see it here: http://www.eprose.fr/hand-use-pen-kit-for-dying-edges.html They have some great tools but are pricey. Kevin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For edge dyes I use those empty 1" markers that graffiti artists enjoy. Very accurate and not messy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Can't see anything great with this tool that defend a price of 430 Euros. You can almost buy a small Italian powered edge paint machine for that price Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thefanninator Report post Posted June 17, 2017 My guess as to the glue is some type of water-based Renia, perhaps Aquilim GL, SG or 315. It might also be Saregum 130. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trox Report post Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) They use thinned white glue, it's water based. And can be mixed with colors etc. Edited June 17, 2017 by Trox Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tossik Report post Posted June 20, 2017 $480 for a stick?! What are they on! I mean yeah it looks cool but seriously? and all the extra tips are like $90 each. Like others have mentioned, I can get a lot of other fun toys that justify their cost. Thanks for the tips on the glue used there though. I want a thin alternative to the weldwood I use now.

klstclair Report post Posted November 18, 2017 (edited) I have found that RM Leather Supply carries one that looks almost identical to the Eprose one at a fraction of the cost. You can see it here: https://www.rmleathersupply.com/collections/tools/products/edge-paint-roller. At $24.99 it is a lot more affordable to try it out.
