You cannot burnish chrome tanned leather. It doesn't work with tokonole either. You can sand and paint, but burnishing doesn't work. Stop misleading people.
Before I asw his video I tried to burnish some chome tanned leather stripes using almost the same technique. It does not work. He on the other side is using veg tanned leather for sure.
I’m just learning leatherworking and I was making a wallet with chrome tanned Bison, it was the death of me. I wish I saw this before I threw the darn thing away...
I read, that some people avoid edge beveling on chrome tanned leather because of that. I´m about to buy one and gum tragecanth, but facing the same problem like you and so I´ll try how it works with the tiniest possible bevel first:/
@@shatterproofleather7120 oh alright, huh. Does it just go on a bit too thick with the silicone, so you're peeling off the top layer? I'm very very new to this.
Hi, thanks for your video. May be you know what type of leather is timberland Kendrick shoes. I don’t know what cream to use to care leather. Please, help me..
I think you have to spend 2times the price to get vegetable tanned leather shoes and shure the manufacturer will explicit tell you about that fact, because the leather is twice the price too.
There is absolutely a difference. Chrome tan requires very specific finishing. If you tried all the same as veg tan, you'd have terrible results. You can burnish veg tan with water or gum trag. You can't with chrome tan. It won't slick up. Tokonole is the only thing that seems to work and it still won't be as finished as veg tan.
now im a bit confused 🤔 tokonole for chrome tan? i really thought we can only burnish vegged tanned leather...
That looks like veg tan.
It can be done on chrome tan, but it is more difficult and requires burnishing gum.
Love The Mustache🤘 I appreciate the tips!

They can be burnished, just not as readily as veg tan
Why doesn't it work?
how would you handle a chrome tan edge of a single layer, that's only 3-4 oz thick?

Well why doesn't it work?
Love your video. Just what I was wanting to know. Thank you!
Is this actually chrome tanned leather. I’m not trying to insult the creator but is this chrome tanned?
I was Jw that too cause most my chrome tanned is stretchy af and don’t take water that good either.. but maybe I just need better quality idk
Love this channel, hope you're well my guy.
Nice content bro
Any tips for cutting lace from chromed tanned?
Nice bow-harvested buck on the wall. Great tutorial too.

if i wanted to dye the edges, at what point do i do that?
i think my chrome tanned leather is too supple to use beveler on it .. what to do ?? the sharp edges are too bad .. thanks for the video man
it can be because it is cheap chrome tan leather I have had that happen to me.
what size beveler do you have?
@@shatterproofleather7120 no. 2 cheap beveler but i have sharpen it with that blue stone

Thank You Very Much
What tool are you using to apply your glue? :o
it is a silicon applicator! you can get them from amazon pretty cheap but I used foam brushes for the longest time. they just don't last as long.
@@shatterproofleather7120 oh okay awesome, thanks!! Yeah I'd much rather have something I can easily wash and reuse.
@@faunabun I will say with the silicon if you are using contact cement its easier if you let it dry then peel it off.
@@shatterproofleather7120 oh alright, huh. Does it just go on a bit too thick with the silicone, so you're peeling off the top layer? I'm very very new to this.
@@shatterproofleather7120 OH you meant to clean the applicator off!! Lol okay, good advice!
Great video, hope to see more!
This is the best leather working video I have ever seen!!!! Excellent content, extraordinary editing, and a smooth finish! Thanks Garret!
Wow, thank you! Your best Kaz!
Thanks, man I appreciate it.

Subbed cut of the leather and the stache lol only wish you would have showed more of the finished product. Very helpful videos and tips though
Looks like veg tan leather to me
Could you do a review on that press you have by your sander? I’ve been looking into one like that but haven’t seen much info on them.
Wow! amzing tutorial!!!!!!!! I have been wondering how to do that on a knife sheath for ages, does it work with goat leather?
Ps, new lifetime subscriber :)
hey! so I've never used goat leather but you will have to let me know how it goes if you do try it.
What grid sand paper 400+ ?
So...no basic difference from burnishing veg tan. I did not know about using denim. I’ll have to try that. Thanks.

Jorts for everyone!
Guess the stuff I’m using is just too slight for this
Thank you so much for those useful tips. I’m wondering what glue you were using on chrome tanned leather edges? Will E6000 do the job?
hi!
I use a water based contact cement. but e6000 should work just be careful to not get it on the face of the leather!
This guy is using veg tanned NOT chrome tanned leather. You can finish the edges of chrome tanned but not like this clown.
That's def veg tanned leather. Idk who told you otherwise, but I'm 99% sure that's veg tan
