stormcrow Report post Posted July 20, 2018 I've have a cocobolo burnisher from ProEdge and also one of the Armatige burnishers both on a bench grinder. I've noticed that I get some dye build up that is transferring onto my edges what is the best way of cleaning these burnishers. I have been using canvas soaked in isopropyl wrapped over the edges of scrap leather is this the best way or is there something else I can use instead of isopropyl to remove the dye build up. Is a fine grit sandpaper a better option, I know cocobolo is toxic so I would have to use a mask but to be honest I would rather not sand in case I damage the profile of the grooves.

alpha2 Report post Posted July 20, 2018 Probably doesn't help this particular issue, but I have different burnishers for "raw", "clean" leather, and dyed leather. Also, I can't imagine that cocobolo in the amounts we're talking about, is particularly toxic. PPM, and all that. It's not like you'll be doing it commercially for years.
