7 NEW & Unusual Leathercraft Tips- Which is your favourite?

I really like the look of the gold foil on the textured leather! I gotta try that sometime!

[@gustgatt]

Buenos consejos todos. Sin dudarlo, el mejor es el de utilizar buenos elementos de seguridad para las manos en este caso pero igualmente es importante para los ojos, oídos y pulmones según sea la necesidad. Gracias

Great tips! I agree the most over looked would be to have good hand protection. That said I think the tip I will be implementing first will be the leather pads on clamps. Thanks!

Great video Philip. Thanks! Have you done a video on how to get glue out from between the edges of 2 veg tan pieces before burnishing? I know there is a trim allowance technique where you make a clean cut but what if that isn't possible to do? I can't seem to get that glue out completely even using a rub rub bar and sanding. Thanks!

It's more of a glue choice Tim. Even if your edge is clean cut, the edge will compress and lower as you burnish, which will in turn expose more rubber based contact adhesive (which I assume you're using). This is why PVA glue and the use of clamps is popular with the burnishing crowd.

@@LeathercraftMasterclass Thanks Philip. I am currently using Renia Aquilim 315. I'll have to clamp the edges after gluing to see if that helps.

Very helpful tips. I may have misunderstood, but are you saying that with the marker one could do the entire edge painting process? Or is this more for applying an undercoat?

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

Hello Alex. No, the dye pen is for leather dye only, not edge paint unfortunately. With paints the pigment particles would likely clog up the felt tip.

as a Safety professional I feel obliged to say the last one, but they were all good Philip.

Thanks Paul! It's amazing how much easier leathercraft can be with all fingers still attached! ;D

Love the videos as always! Unrelated, but I'm having a bit of trouble getting that perfect, spotless, glossy edge with my edge paint. After the Fenice edge paint drys, it never seems to be pristine, and there's always a few microscopic divots that I can see if I look closely. I'm using a Regad on setting 6 with the spatula tip going: sand, paint first coat, apply heat to set the paint, sand, paint, sand, paint, then wax. Any ideas / steps ? Thanks so much, appreciate everything!

Difficult do guide you here without showing you, but I do have a video course on my site 'Techniques Of The Edge. Part 2' which covers various methods on how to achieve a perfect finish using edge paint.

Those gloves come with the machine? I mean, for the price why not?

Alas, no
