Application
The process of repairing and dyeing edge leather consists of several important steps which must be followed carefully in order to achieve a quality result.
If you are working with new leather made of chrome or vegetable tanned leather, it is advisable to prepare the leather edge before colouring to give it the best result. This will give your product a neat, finished look and will look professional.
To do this you must cut the edges of the leather and give them a semicircle or rectangular shape with an edge beveller. Then apply a thin coat of paint to the bevelled edge of the leather with a special spatula applicator or you can use an edge finish applicator pen.
Allow the first coat of paint to dry for 10-20 minutes and apply another coat to form the correct droplet shape of the cut. After the final coat, leave the product to dry for 12 hours during which time the paint completely cures and you can start using the product without any restrictions.
If you are refurbishing a worn leather trim, before applying a new leather edge paint, you must first remove the old cracked leather edge and apply a new leather edge using our Leather Edge Paint as described above.
The Leather Edge Paint have an optimum consistency and are easily applied to the prepared leather trim. By mixing them any colour and shade may be obtained. Thanks to the high hiding power of the Leather Edge Paint, already after the first application, the desired colour tone is formed. The Leather Edge Paint has excellent cohesion ability, and when the second and following coats are applied, they will form a strong bond to the leather in good shape and height, without loosening.
