200g Leather Edge Sealer Kit — Burnishing Gum for Leather Edges
Product description
What's included: a single 200g container of leather burnishing gum (edge sealer).
Product makeup and finish: a viscous polishing gel designed to be worked into cut or rough edges. The formula dries to a clear, glossy film that resists abrasion and reduces the chance of edge cracking. When buffed, it produces a uniform sheen across the leather edge.
How to apply: use a small wool applicator or wool ball to spread the burnishing gum along the edge. Work the material into the fibers by rubbing with the applicator, then follow with a polishing or sanding stick to compress and smooth the surface. Friction helps the gel penetrate the leather; the more you polish, the smoother and glossier the edge becomes.
Usage tips and scope: repeat applications as needed to build up a protective layer and enhance durability. The product is suitable for belts, wallets, bags, straps, shoes and leather upholstery. During leather finishing it forms a smooth, hard-wearing border that both improves aesthetics and guards against wear and splitting.
