Members JD62 Posted September 12, 2018 Members Report Posted September 12, 2018 SANDPAPER IS NOT THE SAME AS SANDSTONE!!!!!!!!! You have not shown one time that you have followed the advice of even one member that has graciously taken the time to try to help. You continue to ignore and insult these kind people in your ignorance instead of trying their technique the way it is given.No one on this site will give advice in order to make you spend more money. One day at a time my friends John
Members LetterT Posted September 12, 2018 Members Report Posted September 12, 2018 My Italian 3D paint has dried but the results are too poor to even photograph it. I do think I am beginning to understand the principle behind it thought. It is almost impossible to paint a perfect edge by just painting. The result is too rough and bumpy. The solution is to use fine sanding paper (1000) to actually shave off the bumps and achieve that nice even surface. I can compare it with welding metal plates. Once the blow torch has welded two metal plates the line of the weld would be rough. So you use the grinder to grind the bumps, then use a fine grinder to make it flat, then polisher to make it look smooth and then paint to finally make it look like there is no welding at all.

Members RusticLeatherShop Posted September 12, 2018 Author Members Report Posted September 12, 2018 LetterT, I totally second that what you said. Similar experiences I have done as well with my Experiment. Seems that LetterT has real life experiences. I'll get some fine sandpaper and see what I can approve with that by burnishing the edges. Maybe getting and wooden handheld burnisher as well from Amazon.com over time. UPDATE: The fabric textil rubberish paint is Peeling off partly on my EDC pocket pistol Holster after 1 day use already. The aquarella paint is "bleeding" paint once it gets wet a bit from even touching it with sweaty Hands (I live in an hot climate were 100 degrees is not unusual during summer and hence people are sweating "like a pig"). I had yellow and red painted Hands today from handling that Smartphone case and EDC pocket pistol Holster (pockets are inside a bit sweaty and thus are painted a bit as well from the bleeding Holster). I consider These 2 paint Options a fail!

Propper paint, technique and Hardware can make any fool into an expert; but not repeating over and over the same mistake (by not having availlable the propper paint, technique or Hardware). Yeah, practice is a con and experience is... somehow undesirable? That's a new one on me. In my shooting career there's been those who practice and those who always have an excuse. "Bad ammo." "Barrel worn." "Bad manufacturing." "Wrong glasses." "Too much coffee." "Not enough coffee." "Damaged sights." "Wet fingers." "Wind changed." I've seen every one of these be genuine factors in poor performance but when the same characters keep thinking ever-more-inventive excuses why they can't hit a barn door from the inside you start to wonder. The ones who have a shelf of silverware, fill the freezer with venison, or clear the rats out the barn are the ones who practice, and practice properly. Those who tell themselves they know everything are the ones who do nothing more than make a lot of noise. That includes those beginners who think they'll just pick up a gun and succeed. Show me two inexperienced shooters -- one who practices what they're advised by more experienced shots and one who only trains sporadically --and, ceteris paribus, I can tell you who in six months is going to be making hits and who's going to be making excuses. Proper paint and hardware are bloody useful but the key is technique, which is borne from experience. You get experience by trying things but you can see further by standing on the shoulders of giants by learning from others' experiences. You tried two different paints this week. That's good. Neither worked as you wanted, which is a shame, but you now have that experience, which is very valuable. What are you going to try now? Is there a similar but different paint available in Paraguay? Can you get some proper edge paint shipped to you? Are you going to try the "hot iron" method of edge painting? Have you tried burnishing using a different technique or materials, as you were advised by several people in your thread on burnishing?
Members RusticLeatherShop Posted September 12, 2018 Author Members Report Posted September 12, 2018 can you Elaborate a Little further on the "hot iron" method? I can buy an iron for clothing to iron the raw leather edges and then paint it and iron it over. If it just would make the trick it would be well worthed. Shipping paint from Amazon.com is not a Problem but not gonna do it since shipping costs can be expensive and lets be honest, local paint should do it as well if that method works. The "hot iron" method would be interesting if it works.
Members RusticLeatherShop Posted September 12, 2018 Author Members Report Posted September 12, 2018 Kind of this? Whats that White machine? An edge painter? Seems to make over the edge a nice glossy transparent paint.

Sounds like those gun Forum advises and internet-mall-ninja Posters whose solely Goal is to censure Forums Contents by repeatedly Claim and blaim other Posters they "do not listen to advice" and the like to start of an reaction of the OP in the hopes the moderator will ban his account. I have shown in any measurable practical first Hand experience and leather pieces the results of those so appraised "advices". I have found that often on Forums misleading info is posted which is just not repeatable once you try it yourself. The cow leather I work with is about max 4 to 5 oz leather and even if I try to burnish it with an stick by Hand, it just bends over or turns it's edge away as such as no practical burnishing can be done with that. However I can see how one could sucessfully burnish full grain belt leather (10 to 14 oz I guess). But suggesting I do not "follow any (shaddy) advice" if I dont manage to burnish 1 oz fish leather, is really beyond any reality. One solution to get a "good enough" edge is to use Brown or black fabric paint and paint it twice. That way it gives a layer but not such a smooth Surface as Posters posted here. It seals however any uneven parts between sewn together leather and makes it somewhat less noticeable. Maybe we have here in Southamerica just not the right paint for leather glossy smooth finish. I'll see next month what construction retailers have in stock here. Maybe I find an suiting paint. First, there is such a thing as fish leather.... Second, I don't appreciate being called a douchebag. I mean, really? I could sugar coat all the things I have said instead of being truly constructive. Sure man, your "rustic" stuff looks really, really poor. Rustic isn't defined by "the lowest amount of work I can bamboozle folks out of the most I can charge them." I've seen you on here for about a month and I have seen not a ton of improvement. Your work appears as if you have zero care for trying to get better. I feel like you are "one of those people on a forum" who troll and try to get folks angry. Are we being punked? I'll no longer comment on the schlock you post as work for commentary and I'll silently sit behind my keyboard and laugh at it hoping that nobody wastes their hard earned coin on trash. Have some damned pride and if you insult me again I'll report you to the mods. Up your quality, not your level of offensiveness and arrogance.

Also, as a marksman, there really is only one way to consistently hit the black..... Best of luck to you. Seriously. I hope you can turn your chicken crap into some form of chicken salad. Until then, Paraguayan buyers beware!
