Thanks for the edge tip Phillip. Your channel is what got me interested in accessorizing products with goat leather. It really is quite good where a supple touch is required, and less expensive. I've been using it for liners ever since. More than likely I'll try this out where edges come in less contact first. Interior edges perhaps. ~ 🍺👍 Cheers!

The concept looks interesting for a low wear area. When do you think you might have more info on the edge paint you were developing?
@LeathercraftMasterclass2 жыл бұрын
The edge paint development has come to a halt unfortunately. Too expensive to have produced
@mikedeloach68492 жыл бұрын
@@LeathercraftMasterclass Too expensive?? Bah!! We demand you take our money!!!! In a more serious tone...I think you were on to a innovative 'game changer'. I see the prices leather workers will (and have) paid for tools/products, and think that the world would beat a path to your door for that product despite the price. Please let us know if you ever license the idea to a manufacturer (Seiwa, Fenice, Uniters, et al.)

That's a pretty ingenious idea Phill! Personally I dislike edge paint but not quite good enough for turned edge , so I will try this. I'm really surprised no one came up with this before. Perhaps the glues weren't as strong back in the day so the technique would have not worked.

Really cool idea never seen anyone do anything like this before. I bet it would look great if you folded and glued the flaps down assuming your also lining each side hiding the flaps and stitched it down. Useful for certain projects I'm sure.

Hehe. Me personally whenever a strap or belt gets the sides damaged, i fine sand it with paper around 2000 grit and then give it a couple of rubs with saddle soap, seems to finish better than any of the products i have. Greetings

how do you misuse PVA glue in leather work?
@LeathercraftMasterclass2 жыл бұрын
A number of ways. Not mating both parts while the glue is still wet. Using it like a contact adhesive by waiting for it to become touch dry. Not clamping thick pieces together. Not applying to both surfaces on dry or absorbent leathers. Not pre-priming on highly absorbent leathers. Not abrading surfaces on smooth leather to allow for penetration etc etc

This is a really smart idea. I'll try that myself. It look nice ona 3mm edge but i wonder if this work on slimer edges. By the way what are you using to split leather ? Do you have a industrial splitter ? I am really considering buying a mechanical splitter but i am no sure of the reliability of it.

Not too sure, I haven't had a chance to try out slimmer edges yet. I use a bell knife skiver to split a strip of skin.
