Using Edgecoat on Saffiano leather

[Webicons]

I find that these rollers work really well for applying edge paint such as Fenice.  As long as the paint has some body to it, these rollers work well.  Cuts the application time by at least 50%. 

One of these and a damp rag is what I use.

Oooh I've been eyeballing the mesh roller pen for a little while. I'm waiting till I finish this bag before I buy more toys.  It's my incentive to complete it, rather than let it lie around.

I use the Tandy roller pen and works pretty well.  Which type do you prefer?  (I guess the screen mesh since that is the one you said you use, but is there much difference in performance?)

They both work well and, in my experience, performance compared to each other depends on how thick the paint is.  The mesh one works well with slightly thinner paints like Fenice (preferred)  while the Tandy cone worked better with thicker (Buckleguy stuff, not sure who the OEM is).  

The mesh applies the paint very evenly but I’ve actually been using the Tandy more recently because it cleans up quickly.

Agree on clean up - I clean my Tandy paint roller in the deep sink using an old toothbrush.

Do yourself a favor and put a dab of threadlock on the threads that hold the brass applicator.  On two separate occasions it came undone and had to fish it out of my bottle.  Good thing that I can use chopsticks pretty well.

Thanks for the tip!
