splinters Posted January 24, 2019 Author Report Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) Thanks for all the good input. Love this forum. The following is what I have been using on veg tan edges and works very good for me. I am please with the control I have without creating slop over on the burnished edge or stitching. Not expensive and easy to find components with a close-pin, a remanent of felt and your in business. The width of the applicator will pass into the top of the bottle for a touch of solution. Not necessary to load the felt for application. A little seems to go a good distance. I haven't noticed an issue with fuzz , at least not yet. So, I'll give this a try on the chrome tan. Don't remember where I picked this up but from where ever "many thanks". Edited January 24, 2019 by splinters Quote

splinters Posted January 28, 2019 Author Report Posted January 28, 2019 Here is one application of Fiebing's Edge Kote Brown. Don't know how well you can see the edge in the photo but looks like I should have added multiple coats to smooth the edge more. Maybe one of the other mentioned products would fill in the roughness better. Anyway, thanks again for all the input. Quote
