    Homie if you adjust the "aperture" or f-stop of the camera (increase to bigger number) more of the frame will be in focus and changing focus near-to-far and far-to-near will be a lot faster. I think. You'll have to adjust other settings to match the brightness of the frame, but you might find it helps...

    Me:
    1. Permanent marker on the edge or dye
    2. Burnish with a burnishing wheel
    3. Apply fiebings bees wax
    4. Burnish again with wheel.
    6. I finish using an italian product similar to acrylic resolene, which is alot better in my opinion. Very hard and protect the edges extremely well.

  • @outfitr9703
    @outfitr9703 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I use a small wool dauber to dye my edges but the dauber has to be burned off way more than just the fuzzys and I use and reuse them until they are pretty small and pretty firm. If they are too soft they'll cause the dye to go off the edge too far. I like to use black dye for edges with brown dyed sides, therefore the dauber has to be firm and then you can cut a perfect crisp line on the edge with a little practice.

    I just picked up a few little things from your Amazon contact. Hope it helps. Love the video's!!! One thing, you were so careful to use clean canvas and burnisher but you used water that had brown stuff in the bottom of the jar. Misstep?

  • @scottsmith7196
    @scottsmith7196 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great training video! Using your technique, I've gotten the best edges ever for me. One question. I purchased the resolene using your link and it was gummy with solid clumps which just sat on the edge, so I wiped it off. Did I get a bum batch which had been frozen along the way or do I simply need to thin it down with water? If I need to thin, what ratio of water to resolene do you suggest? Thanks for any help you can give me!

    • @SofieldLeather
      @SofieldLeather  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for watching. Other guys have the same problem. I think once it freezes, it spoils.

      No problem. I never had that problem but I do know it gets ruined if it freezes. I hope the new one works.

  • @Jlayism
    @Jlayism ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Up until the resolene, we do our edges exactly the same, even the same top middle bottom process with the Montana marker. Instead of resolene (I've just never used it), I have a bench polisher with a thick felt wheel that I lean the wax\paraffin Reese cup into, then apply that onto the edges, then final burnish with the cocobolo burnisher in a drill press to "melt" it in. I do this for belts and holsters mainly, and they really never fuzz up again.
    Great video man.
