Product Type: Edge Finisher
Item Number: GT
Fiebing’s Gum Tragacanth is used to slick and burnish the edges of vegetable-tanned leather. It holds down loose grain fibers, helping create a smoother, cleaner edge on belts, straps, wallets, cases, and other veg-tan leather projects.
Apply a small amount to the leather edge, then rub briskly with a wood slicker, canvas, or another burnishing tool. The friction compacts and smooths the fibers, preparing the edge for use as-is or for the application of an additional edge finish.
Gum Tragacanth is especially useful in belt making and other projects where a smooth, finished edge is important. It may be thinned with water when a lighter consistency is needed. Fiebing’s also recommends it for preparing leather edges before applying Edge Kote.
Please Note: Do not freeze. This product is non-flammable and intended for use on vegetable-tanned leather.
