[@hausofezzy3955]

This is the best instructional video I’ve ever seen for edge painting

[@christopherfeatherley]

Hi, Will 😁 thank you for making this video. I've worked with leather for a few years now, and I never got my edges quite right 😅 I've watched so many videos on KZbin. I love how you walked us through everything and explained things step by step :) you also have a lovely, calming voice. You've been if great help, friend! I'll be sure to save your video😊

Really nice production, Will. This should help a lot of crafters. Hi to Cambridge, such a beautiful town.

[@patriciaingraldi4719]

Well done my friend. Thank you for sharing

[@MrCorlandus]

Hi Will, wich is the Edge paint that you use? Brand, colors availeble and where to buy. Thanks

[@christophgriener9852]

Thank you! You explained it very well. Would a soldering iron also work, instead of the fileteuse (I don't know the spelling.)?

[@jayplays568]

Great video! I was wondering, what is the heating tool you are using here? Is it possible to do this edge process if I do not have one of those tools (and if so, how would you recommend I change the process)?

[@thesoodster1880]

Thank you so much for this video. Thank you!

[@mushuchicken8256]

Beautiful work; thank you ❤️

[@Scadaboy]

Any chance you could give an actual temperature from a non contact heat meter of what 5 1/2 on your creasing tool relates to?

[@keepitbib]

Hey Will! Hope all is well, question: where can I find fenice edge paint in the uk? Or can you recommend where to get it?

[@poniel2123]

thanks for this... I don't have a heating iron. I do have a creaser that i heat up with a torch to do my creasing. Can the heating process be done with that as well?

[@WillHodges]

You’re most welcome, it can indeed. Make sure you’re subscribed as I’ve got a video going live tomorrow that includes a demonstration of how to do it with a manual creaser and a torch

[@suebates5267]

Thankyou for the video.Could you tell me where you purchased your edge roller from?Thankyou

[@lowspeak]

Thanks Will, I got to get that heat thingy then. My edge painting looks horrible.

[@WillHodges]

If you’re in the US RMleather supply sell the same brand as mine

What iron is that you’re using?

[@mikedee1]

Nice! How durable is the finish?

[@SyTheSoundman]

Thanks Will for a great video. May I ask where you bought the holder to stand your edges for drying please?

[@WillHodges]

You’re totally welcome, I got the paint drying rack from here www.proatelierplus.com

[@SyTheSoundman]

@@WillHodges Thanks so much

[@deanbriggs5058]

Where did you buy your edge creaser??

[@WillHodges]

Hi, I purchased it directly from Regad. If you send me an email I’ll give you the contact details, and don’t forget to sub 😄

[@kaibonne7138]

Which sandpaper do you use?

[@nawang2253]

Which edge paint do you use, I live in turkey i have tried several edge paint which is available here , but they didn’t work out. I am a beginner, really hope you suggestion.

[@WillHodges]

Hi, I use Uniters edge paint. Feel free to email me and I can help you buy some

[@djs_leather]

how long do you let the paint dry? I always struggle with this.. it looks dry but when i touch it theres like a skin that i now wrinkled and it wont sand away. it turns into a little booger that you have to rip off :(

[@WillHodges]

Totally depends on the air temp and the brand of paint. Try using a small space heater or putting your item near a radiator

[@DOME1337]

How much is 5,5 heat im Farenheit/Celsius?

[@WillHodges]

I’m not sure, sorry

[@jeanettewalker6452]

What temperature do you use?

[@WillHodges]

For the final polish I use my machine at number 5 and if I need to smooth the edge after the first coat I use it on 7

[@nataliam2332]

@@WillHodges Do you know what that translates to in degrees (F or C?)? Thanks!

[@yiupiano]

Oooh, so it is totally necessary to use heat on the edge? I always thought I would only need to add tragacanth, sand it down and repeat and lastly use dye and wipe it clean.

[@WillHodges]

Nope, there’s several ways of doing it, if not using heat you can simply sand between layers and get a similar result. So you’re doing the method without heat

[@deepdiver849]

Found it!

[@paulfellowes4879]

I wish I could afford to buy a Regad machine....I'll just need to spend hours doing it by hand...my least favorite jobs I gotta say!
