Members YinTx Posted February 3, 2021 Members Report Posted February 3, 2021 I've not tried it, but Springfield leather seems to claim their TokoPro is a game changer and will burnish chrome tan... anyone have experience there?

Edge paint such as Uniters or Vernis is what I recommend. If you have a double edge it needs to be cut or sanded flush or else anything uneven will show. Sand the hell out of it and apply, sand some more and apply then sand some more and apply a third coat. The best method is to use an electric creaser heated up to even out the first coat. It can be done with a hot butter knife heated up on the stove. It is a tedious job but that is how the exposed edges are done. Plenty of videos on YouTube. This looks like it could work, do you have a product link by any chance? I just don’t want to get the wrong thing by accident. Quote

Tokonole is the best burnishing stuff in my opinion and that of many high-end professionals. But only for veg tanned. I can show you what does not work.

toxo Posted February 3, 2021 Report Posted February 3, 2021 Has anyone tried a dilute glue like PVA with a pigment in it? Wouldn't it at least seal the edge for a finish on top? Quote

Looks like you've tried it all. Tokonole gives me a smooth, sealed edge, and I've learned to be happy with the results, so it works for me.
