Any ideas what rotary edge paint tool is used in this video?

[tossik]

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!

Not exactly the same;

But I got one from china for about 1/7 the regular Tandy price

I saw those on ebay as well, but the one in the video looks very neat. Hoping someone recognizes it

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

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.

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.

Interesting, never thought about thinning contact cement. I will have to give it a shot. Thanks!

I've got one of those, and it works rather well.   As to the one in the vid, I've never seen one like that.   Very fancy.

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?

This is similar. I have never actually orders of these people but they look to have a lovely range of tools
