Members magdy Posted December 7, 2020 Members Report Posted December 7, 2020 Dear All, I want to know which material and machine do factories use to seal and coat the leather edges with a thick rubbery coat? I don't think it is Giardini, or Fiebings or Stahl or United or any of these edge coats, because I compared those to the rubbery edge coat I have on many bags and they are not the same.......I also don't think in mass production of bags they will waste time applying 3 or 4 layers of these edge coats..... I think it is a synthetic material... It could be the one in the attached photo but I don't know what is it? BTW this material is damn good and sustainable. Can anyone help me please. Quote
Members CastleLeatherWorks Posted December 7, 2020 Members Report Posted December 7, 2020 (edited) from my experience i believe many higher end bag makers use edge paint that is either sanded between several light layers or applied heavily and smoothed with a fileteuse. in the picture you posted it looks to me like the handle of a filteuse with a bent attachment. i dont think it is extruding anything as far as my eyes can see. i use the many light layers of edge paint (fenis or uniters) sanded in between coats on my wallets and it holds up very well.

Members mike02130 Posted December 9, 2020 Members Report Posted December 9, 2020 The high-end bag makers have a proprietary edge paint. I hear Hermes uses something by Stahl. Quote
Members Danne Posted December 9, 2020 Members Report Posted December 9, 2020 I answered you in the other thread you made. You can make a nice edge with two coats of paint. I showed an example with Uniters EP-Full as a primer coat for the rounded shape, and one coat of Uniters EP-2000 A lot of manufacturers of edge paint sell those in different viscosity for different application methods.
