How to Use Leather Edge Coat

Shake or stir well before use.

Always pre-test in an unseen or inconspicuous area.

Dip an Edge Applicator into the Edge Coat and apply it evenly to the raw leather edge. It can be left to dry naturally for between 5-10 minutes or dried within around 2 minutes with the use of a hair dryer. 

Continue applying coats until you reach your desired look, drying in between each coat. Apply more coats will create a higher curved edge. We recommend applying one or two coats for best results.

If your edge is not 100% smooth, it can be smoothed over with 1200 grit wet and dry sandpaper. This can be done in between coats, or once at the end. 

Leather Edge Coat – FAQ

Q. How many coats are required to get the perfect edge?

A. This varies depending on what you class as the 'perfect edge'.

One or two coats will leave a nice smooth surface, adding three or more coats will generally leave a nice curved edge. This will vary depending on the thickness of the edge you are working on too. 

Q. What is the difference between Edge Coat and Edge Paint?

A. Edge Coat has been designed to give a more modern, flawless edge coating. The Edge Paint can be used to colour over the Edge Coat or used directly on the raw leather edge to give a more natural and rustic looking edge. 

Q. Can you use this on top of old, damaged and worn edging?

A. Yes, you can, however, for best results, it is highly recommended to remove any worn edging before applying the new edging. This not only grants better adhesion; it also helps with the overall smoothness. 

Q. Are there any leathers this cannot be used on?

A. No, our Edge Coat will work on all leather types, and all faux leather too, as long as it is applied to the raw edge. 

Q. What is the best method of application?

A. This varies depending on what you prefer - typically it is down to what you feel most comfortable with.

Our Edge Applicator is quick and easy to use and brings great results, so we would, therefore, recommend trying this application method.
