Members handsw Posted May 28, 2021 Members Report Posted May 28, 2021 Hi, you can see in the attaches images the zipper tag of my backpack. I was wondering what it is the material that cover the edges, it seems some plastic or rubber material. The zipper tag is made of faux leather or chromed leather probably, therefore the edges are not treatable like if they were made of veg tan leather but the coating is nice and seems durable so I would like to try using the same material on some of my creations.

Members handsw Posted May 28, 2021 Author Members Report Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) Oh nice, I didn't know that. I actually live in the UK, are there other brands? Can edge paint be used on burnished edges? Is it a good solution for long lasting edges? Edited May 28, 2021 by handsw Quote

Members Prof Posted June 11, 2021 Members Report Posted June 11, 2021 TIL Fiebings Edge Coat can be a real PIA. Luckily I was able to peel it off, or it would have ruined the project. Quote
