Burnishing Chrome tan leather
Burnishing Chrome tan leather
I am having some issues burnishing some chrome tans. I would love to hear what everybody is using to burnish edges please

You can burnish chrome tan with tokonole. I've definitely found doing the edges on chrome tan never comes out quite as well as veg tan though. I know some people use edge kote or paint for chrome tan edges too, but I like the tokonole.
I use Tokonole pretty much on everything. I recently had a chrome tan though that was (for me) impossible to burnish. I tried a wooden slicker and canvas and all it did was fray. Does Tokonole work on all chrome tan for you? I am still quite the beginner so I wouldn’t doubt it’s me.
Edge kote is that similar to Tokonole or more a thicker liquid to coat the edge?
No some leather won't burnish, it's not just you. I'm not a pro at thus stuff either. Like chromexcel you can get a decent burnish on. But when I've used crazy horse and similar leather I just edge koted it instead. So it really depends on the leather.
And the edge kote is more like painting the edges, it has a color to it.
That’s good. I use lots of different colours.
Ok thanks. I’ll pick up some Edge Kote then and see if I can work it with that.
