Burnish or edge paint. FYI buckle guy has some “push pins” which make needles absolute.

i live in glen mills pa started leather 5 years ago do you live in philadelphia??? i started from scratch too it has been a fun path with more ups than downs

i have used both with similar results it is best to have a somewhat rough surface not super smooth so the edge paint can soak in some i also find it best to use a base coat first and then the final color coat if you are having bubbles it could be too thin of product they make a thickener to solve this to add to the paint to solve this i am in the usa so have buckleguy, rocky mountain leather supply and springfield leather other than just tandy make sure to let it dry and put multiple thin coats best of luck tim

best company in usa is leather machine company i am sure they can help 866-962-9880 or at cobra@leathermachineco.com i hope this helps since i watch utube videos and pretty amazing but for real thick leathers or shoes have seen none ps love watching bedo restoring shoes

for sure only about 25 miles away

I live in philly area too actually glen mills i really like your skills and great choices of leather
