Create smoother, cleaner leather edges with Fiebing's Gum Tragacanth Burnishing Agent, a water-based, low VOC, natural gum based edge slicking and burnishing compound for natural or colored veg-tanned leather. It is made for the edge-finishing step on wallets, belts, bags, straps, keychains, coasters, collars, leashes, tags, and other handmade leather projects where a raw cut edge needs a smoother, finished look. *Packaging may vary, but the formulation is the same. Specifications Small Capacity: 4 fl. oz. (118 ml) Large Capacity: 32 fl. oz. (946.35 ml) Directions Shake well before each use. For best results, round off edge of leather with an edge beveler prior to application. Apply a thin coat of Gum Tragacanth to beveled edge of leather with a wool dauber, cloth or slightly damp sponge. Rub edge very briskly with an edge slicker, bone folder or piece of canvas. As the Gum Tragacanth dries and heats up due to friction caused by rubbing, treated edge will darken and shine. Repeat until desired burnish is achieved. Keep bottle tightly closed between projects. Use caution when applying Gum Tragacanth on leather that is to be stained, antiqued or dyed, as it may resist or block penetration of some color. Test burnishing and finishing techniques on scrap leather before applying them to a completed project.
