Tips for using and applying our edges paint for leather

Edges paint is applied in two layers, with drying in between.
Edges paint for leather can be applied with a brush, a wool applicator or a metal applicator, also known as a dye roller. The craftsmen at Radermecker Tannery apply the edges paint with a felt-tip pen to avoid any spillage or dripping on the grain side of the leather.
As the edges paint is saturated with pigments, diluting it will not result in a lighter shade. In order to obtain other shades, the edges paint for leather can be mixed with each other. It is not possible to mix leather edges paint with aniline leather dyes as the polyurethane base and the aqueous pigments will not mix with the solvent, and this may produce a precipitated molasses.
If you want to add shade to your saddlery items or leather goods, discover the aniline leather dye available in Black, Chocolate, Havana, Cognac and Victoria.
