Exceptional technique learning about the three edge companies, I wanted to try it Giardini for long time I always hesitate, I am glad that I found you and I watch your outstanding video. Thank you!
Thanks for the mention! For sanding progression, I usually start from really coarse to fine, like around 100 grit to around 1000 grit. You can use leather or anything smooth to wrap the jaws of the clamp, it will minimize the risk of clamp marks on the project surface. Anyway, as for Giardini, they do have an extra matte top coat if you want a nice non-sticky and matte look. As for the heating method, you could also introduce all these edge paints to the test again, I am really curious how all 3 performs under heat.
Not every edge is flat. What about loops around rings that fray and need to be glued and edging? No where shows this technique. Please help. Thank you.
HI nice video... Thanks for the upload..But would really appreciate if you can do one with the 'heating method' I think most of us would like to know how the edge coating will work with a Fileteuse from Regard or a chinese heat creaser please. That video would be very very helpful.
I think the black one is a bit shinier and slightly tacky because of the wax in it. I've found that burnishing it more (hand or canvas) helps to get rid of the tackiness, with a last resort of using 1:1 water and Fiebings Acryllic Resolene.
I thought Vernis should be applied on flat edge not rounded off with edger. And it gets rounded by the multiple coats. Is that wrong as per your experiment?
it will give you "some" rounded effect but it won't give "nice" rounded look if you don't bevel. it's just your style and look that you want to make. no true answers are there for this kind of matter.
You picked a thick piece of leather and showed us how to edge paint 😄😄 Next time film yourself doing the edges of a thin leather (1.2 mm) like a watch strap, would be great!
By the title one wold think that you are PRO. But your videos are not like PRO at all. So may be it's just videos you are bad at. Please, show some photos of the products you have made. I would like to see some PRO grade products by you. Thank you.
