EDGE PAINTING FOR LEATHER

[@roxxbot6648]

This was so helpful and your voice is so soothing. Thank you so much

[@practicallyperfect2941]

A roller gives a great finish. Sadly giardini is just too expensive to get posted from Italy to U.K but it’s my favourite look! Fenice also ridiculous postage costs.

[@iLoveLeatherNYC]

Would it be cheaper to order from the States? There is a place I've found here.

[@andreab919]

OMG I've been watching so many videos on that topic and this one is by far the best. Thank you so much.

[@iLoveLeatherNYC]

You're welcome, glad it helps you.

[@gibbyswife9218]

Andrea B I agree!!!!

[@victoriaakkari4342]

This is awesome! I've purchased some Angelus acrylic to touch up some worn gold from an old J.Crew bag.

[@iLoveLeatherNYC]

It's a great paint and works on all kinds of surfaces.

[@diastoleny]

I try fiebings pro dye on edges and I get bleed into the finished leather face. Is Edge Kote the correct alternative? Aside from burnish or acrylic edge paint that is. Thanks!

[@iLoveLeatherNYC]

Fiebings is thin in consistency so its gonna run. If you want something with more grip you have to upgrade. Primer Base Coat + color gives you the best chance at a professional result.

[@nobracobra]

ive recently gotten my feet wet with leathercrafting and have taken baby steps in the process using belly pieces... tysm for this informative vid!

[@iLoveLeatherNYC]

Good luck with your leather crafting journey - - may you make lots of fantastic items.

[@f1k199]

How would you rate black and broun tokonole from seiwa

[@iLoveLeatherNYC]

Good. I don't use it often. Last time I used it to paint bonded leather. I was making a wallet and didn't want another heavy layer for the credit card slots.

[@jhoniluost7851]

Can you tell me composition of edge paint

[@iLoveLeatherNYC]

I cannot. Try Google.

[@andreab919]

I am afraid that the Giardini free trial pack is not available anymore or there is a mistake in the link. It brings me on the Giardini website but I could not find that free trial pack.

[@iLoveLeatherNYC]

The video was posted in 2018. You can try searching ETSY to see if you can find smaller quantities.

[@pamelaglossop2734]

Can’t find Giardini in Australia unfortunately. Giardini told me I would have to purchase from them, but I only want small amounts and shipping would be a killer.

[@iLoveLeatherNYC]

Have you tried searching Etsy? I think there might be a few sellers there that carry Giardini, if not, Fenice is really good.

[@yvettebooth67]

Good hearing from you. Missed you. 😁😁

[@iLoveLeatherNYC]

Hey! What's good??!! How ya been...

[@yvettebooth67]

iLoveLeatherNYC I have been good. In the middle of trying to build a house. But all is good. Thanks for asking.

[@iLoveLeatherNYC]

That's amazing! I see the queen is getting her own castle - - nice move sis.

[@yvettebooth67]

iLoveLeatherNYC Thank you

[@PurseReview]

where do you buy the burnishing tool?

[@PaulfromMNL]

Can do these on chrome tanned leather?

[@iLoveLeatherNYC]

Yes I think so, these are all good for leather, for that I'd lean toward one of the barge products (rubber cement)

[@PaulfromMNL]

@@iLoveLeatherNYC thank you!!!

[@visanyukotso7697]

So Angelus is better then fenice??

[@ellenik7407]

I’ve spent so much buying Giardini paints and they harden in the bottle and can never use again. Heartbreaking when you bought all the big sizes and six months later they are all unusable. I can’t find anything on the Internet for this issue. I was wondering if you have experienced it and if you know of any tips to help prevent this from happening.

[@lunachu22]

Apparently they have a 12 month shelf life according to the manufacturer. Sounds like the harden after a period of time. So you should buy smaller bottles of you don't use it often.

[@rutht8570]

Does this mean I don't have to use a beveler or burnish the edges?!

[@iLoveLeatherNYC]

Here's the thing about finishing edges. Different techniques yield different results. Beveler is advanced, burnished is rustic. As a designer / maker you call the shots, these are only a few more options to consider.

[@mrsmelamedina]

Great video! I would like to apply edge coat on my lv wallet because it's very old. I'm interested in the giardini brand but they have multiple browns. Which one would you suggest? Dark brown or brown?

[@iLoveLeatherNYC]

Hello. I would probably choose the brown, #24. If it's a little too light you can add a drop of black to darken.

[@cactuslady55]

Thank you for such an informative video! My first time working with leather but wanted to ask which of these products might have the least amount of harmful fumes. I know to work in a well-ventilated area but I also have environmental illness and want to make some leather items that need the edges sealed. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[@iLoveLeatherNYC]

In my opinion none of the have heavy fumes, no stronger than paint pots purchased from Michaels or Hobby Lobby. You are not buying that much so I'd say low exposure. However if you are super sensitive do this outdoors or by a window.

[@dmitriyobidin6049]

I would argue that Giardini is a suprior choice for all situations. Fenice is much smoother to the touch. I would recommend trying both and use what suits best considering also the type of project that you are making.

[@iLoveLeatherNYC]

Thank you for posting!

[@charlenejacksonwright9644]

Where do you purchase oak tag paper from

[@iLoveLeatherNYC]

I purchase mine from a store in New York, I don't think they offer it online. I found this on Amazon called PATTERN PAPER, it looks the same, hope this works for you. www.amazon.com/Pattern-Paper-Manila-48-Yards/dp/B002YWM8RA/ref=sr_1_12?keywords=OAKTAG+PAPER&qid=1551929745&s=gateway&sr=8-12

[@Regina.Clarke]

Love this! Great job!

[@iLoveLeatherNYC]

Thanks...Hope it helps you.

[@gibbyswife9218]

Thank you, again. Love your tutorials and suggestions!!

[@iLoveLeatherNYC]

You are very welcome.

[@Ynobe513]

OMG...Thank you, I been using edge Kota with mod podge 😨😨😨😨 when dry it turns rubber like and shiny 😅😅😅😅😅 Thank you for this, I'm head to there website now

[@iLoveLeatherNYC]

Glad this helped you - - yes order the FREE TRIAL pack while supplies last.

[@sarahmueller609]

With the Giardini, do you also burnish before applying the base coat?

[@iLoveLeatherNYC]

When you say burnish do you mean sand down the edges and use the burnishing tool?

[@ronin5273]

Thank you very much i was pissed off by uneven edges.now i ordered a fenice 👍🏻👏🏻🙏🏻

[@iLoveLeatherNYC]

YES!! Level up.

[@laydeelash]

Will these edge coats be great for vinyl fabric?

[@iLoveLeatherNYC]

Honestly I don't know. If I had to guess I'd say the acrylic paint is a safe bet since its works on a variety of surfaces.
