Fiebing's Edge Kote (4oz) - Black - Flexible, Water Resistant Coating for Leather Edges, Medium Gloss - for Color Coating and Protecting Edges of Leather Shoes, Crafts and Furniture

Historically I have hated working with edge paints because they are usually messy streaky and a total pain to get right. When I ordered this I thought it was a dye and when I opened it to my disappointment I realized it was edge paint. I almost tossed it on the shelf but figured I already bought it so I might as well try it. To my surprise it actually worked better than any edge paint I have ever used. It goes on smooth dries quickly and does not leave me fighting with clumps or streaks. Once it sets it sands easily and polishes up with a really nice semi gloss finish that looks like I put way more effort into it than I actually did. The color is strong the coverage is consistent and it flexes well without cracking. I was not expecting to be impressed but now this has become my go to edge paint. What started as me accidentally buying the wrong thing has turned into a product I will probably stick with as my only option moving forward. If you are tired of edge paints being a battle this is one that actually makes the process enjoyable. Ps. I'm far from a pro when it comes to edge painting. So my picture doesn't do it justice.

Used this from recommendations from some pros for my fretboard. Stained let it sit 15 minutes took alcohol and wiped off. 2 coats got the look I was after. Easy enough and looks phenomenal. Many different uses. Took maybe a capful to do my coats on this.

If you take care of your shoes and boots, this is a leather edge paint that must be included in your shoes and boot care kits. I've also used it of black belt scratches with excellent results.

I bought Hand Made Shoes in London and wanted them to last for a long, long time. Needed to edge paint the soles. Fantastic job. Won't use anything else from now on.

Had a few wallets that had their edges starting to peel. Was able to remove the old edging and clean and apply edging. Make sure to clean the edges before applying. In some areas, I applied a layer, and used a fan to quickly dry the area before reapplying for a thicker more even look. Offers great protection. Good color matching and offers a great value for money.

Great product. Use it all the time

This is a great product for restoring straps on vintage bags. East to apply with a q-tip.

I’ve now used the black and tan from this brand and had great success. The black was applied to leather purse handles after the original finish started peeling off. The purse gets daily use and the new edging has held up. I bought the tan for a similar repair to a leather Apple Watch band. The watch is worn daily and now looks completely refreshed. I highly recommend this product , I just wish I could buy it in much smaller sizes.
