Description
Blue Fiebing’s Edge Kote® is a flexible leather edge dye and finish designed to colour, seal and enhance natural cut leather edges. Supplied in a convenient 4 oz bottle, it helps produce a clean, smooth and professionally finished appearance on handmade leather goods.
Once dry, Blue Fiebing’s Edge Kote® creates a deep semi-gloss finish that is water resistant and remains flexible during normal use. This makes it particularly suitable for leather products that regularly bend or move, including belts, wallets, handbags, straps, collars and saddlery accessories.
The product can be thinned with water when a lighter or more fluid consistency is required. For the best results, prepare the leather edge carefully and apply several thin, even coats.

How to Apply
Ensure the leather edge is clean, dry and smoothly prepared. Shake or stir the product thoroughly before use.
Apply a thin, even coat using an edge applicator, roller pen, dauber or fine brush. Allow the coating to dry completely before applying another coat. Several thin coats will generally provide a smoother and more consistent result than one heavy application.
Where required, lightly sand or refine the edge between coats. Always test the product on a piece of scrap leather or an inconspicuous area before completing the entire project. The leather type, preparation and natural absorbency can influence the final colour and appearance.
