Members Dunluce Posted June 30, 2017 Members Report Posted June 30, 2017 I see a few posts on here regarding the use of leather edge paint and I thought I would share my experience of using the Giardini leather edge paint that gives you that rounded 'rubberised' edge you see on bags etc. I made a watch strap about a year ago and used this on the edges. I have used the watch every single day since and despite the fact the edge rubs on the buckle (I made the strap the correct width for the buckle but once I put a few coats of the paint on it was tight) and it is as good now as when I first applied it. It shows no signs of peeling or cracking. I want to make it clear that I am nothing to do with the company but I am just really pleased with how the product has performed. Quote
Members Nuttish Posted June 30, 2017 Members Report Posted June 30, 2017 Mind sharing how you apply the paint? Quote
Members Dunluce Posted June 30, 2017 Author Members Report Posted June 30, 2017 I use a roller pen like this one from Tandy https://www.tandyleather.eu/en/product/craftool-pro-edge-dye-roller-pen I have tried a few methods and I find this by far the best. By the way if you go to the Giardini site they will send a few free samples for the price of postage Quote
