Creasing after edge painting

I’d like to ask if anyone has tips on leather creasing. I love a good defined crease, and I typically will use my fileteuse before pricking then go back over it again after stitching. But through the process of edge painting the crease is always less defined. If I try to go back over it with the fileteuse it’s quite difficult to not touch the edge paint which results in ruining a perfect edge. Any tips that may help? Thanks so much!

Depending on what tip you are using, you can sometimes come back after everthing is finished and give a little heat with an S tip, just to redefine a crease line. Just be careful that you don't veer off and mark a completed project!
