The Easiest Way to Paint Leather Edges!
Painting leather edges is a great way to build a beautifully finished leather crafting project. It's also one of the more difficult skills to master in your leathercraft journey. Our sponsor Weaver Leather sent over their new edge paint roller, and it's a game changer! It's so much better than any other edge paint roller we've tried.
In this video we show you how to paint leather edges by hand and compare/contrast that with using the edge paint roller. We compare one coat, two coats, and all that good stuff. Happy crafting!
I use a Montana Graffiti refillable marker for edge painting. Usually Feibings edge coat. The huge empty marker body is refillable and the nibs are replaceable. Had mine for about three years and have not had to replace the nib. The only thing I have to do is add some distilled water to the edge coat occasionally. No waste. No spilling. Got this idea from Little King Goods (Ryan)
Good tip. I mostly use edge paint to 'freshen up' old/second hand things and have applied it with a brush so far. But a refillable marker sounds very convenient.
@@raraavis7782 I use every surface of the marker tip depending on the thickness of the leather. The flat tip and the side of the nib fits well on thin edges. I use this because I mess up with every other way I ever learned. The marker is easy to control.

I'll try this for sure - sounds perfect for repairs!
This is what I do too
I like how you always try new things and keep learning new stuff !
Well, that makes easy work of it, for sure. I love edge paint, because the edge is often the part of a bag or belt or such, where wear and tear shows most.
Being able to fix that is a very handy skill.
It's interesting to watch this even though I don't work with any kind of leather work.
The pour spout is certainly helpful alright. Great video. 👍👍👍
excellent video Corter Leather. I broke that thumbs up on your video. Keep on up the wonderful work.
Simply amazing!
I have two questions. With this paint, you will get this rubbery finish or it's another type of product/procedure? and, what can I use if I want to finish the edge on chrome tanned leather? Thanks!
How did the painted edges for the pin cushion turn out?
How did your pin cushion turn out? Did you like the painted edges?
I am looking back but did not find anything dedicated to glues. I am building my own buckets seat, console, door panels and sun visors that require skiving. Glues are great for holding things together while your sew a sun visors skies and folded and backing a true French seam. Pins, staples and different staplers come in handy. Many say, we’ll make a purchase a a shoe store! Great but gone with virus. No one line sells much more than Weldwood contact cement that works well or Weldwood Landou top adhesive for spraying.
I have much more equipment than one should be allowed to have. In severe pain after bending, but I have been an automotive certified ASE Master Tech since 1978. I am building a vehicle for me that just happens to be 54 years old but being equipped with a Tahoe drive train. Yes automatic with over drive. It is my daily 6’ 3” tall guy truck I can fit into and drive.
Thanks for the clean spoken instructions and the time it takes to edit, re-watch and upload!

Super. Zrobiłem sobie taki z puszki po sardynkach za 0.5 $ 😆
I watched without sound because demonstration was filled with sniffles. Thank you.
I was also curious about the outcome of the pincushion, did it work like expected? How do you feel about using the edge paint after burnishing the cushion edges, as far as durability is concerned?
And finally, did you forget to wash off your new "scraper" at the end of the video?? 🤫
Could you please make a video on how to sharpen edge bevelers please?
Pretty easy to do: just take a piece of thread, slide it through sharpening compound and then take the beveler and slide it through the Thread. Don’t know how to explain it otherwise.
@@MacBookAir-cu4fb how thick of a thread do I take or it doesn’t really matter? Or is it better with a leather cord?
@@hamzashetranjiwala3885 a round leather cord that will fit snugly into the beveler should be absolutely perfect!
@@MacBookAir-cu4fb that didn’t work for me. I’ve watched many a yootoobor do it and now I’ve ruined my only beveler
Good 💥👍💥
What is Leather cords and leather split
👍
Just goes to show how good you are by hand. Personally l like the edge paint look
I burnish and stain the same color I'm going with.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Weaver back at it again, making all the edges all sexy and luscious!
I, personally, don't like edge paint because, over time, it peels off. I prefer to dye the edge with whatever dye color and then burnish it. Sure, the edge paint is probably classier, but then again, it's not really my style either. :)
I tend to finish my edges the same way, dye, tokonole and burnish.
How is an edge paint different from regular leather dye? Are they interchangeable?
paint sits on top of the leather, dye penetrates it :)
@@Corter and feibings Edge kote? Like an in betweener ? I actually like it when I’m using really soft thin leather like goat
You're not supposed to bevel the edge before you edge paint. You need a sharp edge so the paint doesn't bleed easily onto the front.
Like I said in the video a few times you normally wouldn't bevel if you're painting - but if the tool is good enough to not bleed on a beveled edge it's a pretty good tool :) this didn't bleed, which is why we tested it on a beveled edge. Plus rounded painted edges are super duper luxurious to handle!
Well at least you weren’t being those obnoxious pitch men from the infomercials🤣🤣🤣🤣
You said u dont want to sound like a spokesman but aren't you a weaver spokesman?
nope! they sponsor our videos but we're in no way obligated to speak highly of anything they make - we make sure to speak honestly and give our opinions on what are good tools you might want to look into, and what are things you probably don't need to spend money on to make a good piece of leather craft :) We've been Weaver customers for 10 years before we started working with them, and we reached out to them to work together because we wanted more people to know about them as a really good supplier and innovator in the leather tool space. We love and use their products all the time. Almost every single Weaver tool you see us use was in our shop and bought with our own money before we started working with them with the exception of the Little Wonder, and I went out and bought 2 more after they sent us one - our Weaver presses are over 10 years old! So when they send us a tool and we like it, that's of our own accord. They're not paying us to say good things about anything they make.

想要！
man i haven't followed a leather work video in months. it sucks if you get motivated about something only to find out it's unfeasible for you.
Seems to me as if this would waste a lot of paint
