Leather Edge Paint Hack Using Fire

Now, it's always best to shake your edge paint the day before use, especially if you haven't used a particular colour for a long time. This gives tiny bubbles the time to burst inside the bottle.
But this trick is a good one to bank if you're in a hurry, and your edge paint has separated after a long time without use.
You can also use a stirrer if you clean it first using alcohol. Never place anything dirty into your edge paint storage bottle.
However, the demonstrated trick is by far the best.. because fire.🔥

Might this be a useful hack to get a better finish overall, even if air bubbles are not present?

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

I don't see how momentary heat would improve the finish, but it may be worth you giving it a try to see if makes any difference.

Here's a side quest for you: hardening vegetable tanned leather to make snooker/pool cue leather tips.

[@pequodexpress]

Would a hot creasing iron also work, or must a flame be used?

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

Good question. If you tried this with a creasing iron, you would get liquid edge paint on the tip, and it would begin to burn. A flame for a split second won't affect the paint.
