Members mcguyver42 Posted June 14, 2021 Author Members Report Posted June 14, 2021 Spyros, if I read your post correctly, you said that the Sedgewick English bridle leather doesn't accept any kind of a liquid finish very well on the flesh side, but that you are getting a durable glue bond when you line your items? When you go to finish your edges you are using Edge Kote because obviously any type of dye wouldn't match, (not to mention the unpredictable). Do you cut stitching grooves, or just let your stitches lay on top? Quote
Members Spyros Posted June 14, 2021 Members Report Posted June 14, 2021 Yep my water based glue seems to work fine. No I don't cut stitching grooves, I let the stitches lay on top and hammer them a bit after. I havent had any problems with any method of edge finishing, but if it drips and I had to rub it off the surface I found the surface very sensitive to that rubbing. Quote
