Members rvbarner Posted March 31, 2020 Members Report Posted March 31, 2020 Fiebings edge kite is fine for beginners. I found long term it wears and cracks. Also, it isnt as flexible as some other edge paints, which contributes to its cracking (in my experience). Quote
Members gmace99 Posted March 31, 2020 Members Report Posted March 31, 2020 Acrylic paint. It’s about a £1 for a tube from Poundland or if in the USA a dollar from dollar general sometimes it is a little thick. Add a drop of water. Give it two coats. Should look good Quote www.uksaddlery.com Saddlery training courses in Dunoon Scotland UK.
Members Vikefan Posted April 1, 2020 Members Report Posted April 1, 2020 I watch a lot of leather craft videos on YouTube. And learned that Saddle Soap works very well in finishing leather edges. I dye the project, sand the edges starting at a fine grit, and work my way sanding the edges till I get to 600 wet/dry till edges are pretty smooth, then apply a couple coats of Saddle soap to my leather and burnish them on my motor driven burnishing wheel, or hand burnish them.. This has been working very nicely for me. I've got a whole large bottle of saddle soap to use up. Hope this helps someone. Quote
Members johnv474 Posted April 3, 2020 Members Report Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) Permanent marker, especially the ubiquitous Sharpie, is 'permanent' but not really. It fades to green in sunlight. You can just use a little dye , carefully applied, and then coat with wax or Resolene. For those wondering, YES, Tokonole is worth the extra moneyn. It is among the best edge products out there.
