hello! I am very curious how to achieve a turned edge with a rounded coroner. I attached two examples, but I am specifically aiming for an edge like the photo of the Chanel wallet

Hello everyone, I am using the TAM contact glue , it is similar to neoprene , in my experience when you apply the glue ( not doing on purpose) somewhere it doesn’t need to be , at the same time you don’t see anything , but one year later it will turn yellowish/brown.... I just put some glue on the fabric of my zipper , I went over the limit I needed to put the glue on . it is invisible at the moment but I want to avoid that it turns yellowish/brown in the future ! What can I do ? Thank you in advance for the tips!

I spent the good part of a day trying to find a temp/foil that works with Zermatt to no avail. Anyone else have better luck with this leather?

Hi Everyone all the best and lot's of leathercraft for the new 2024! I was wondering if anyone has worked with Giardini edge paint and Uniters as well and can compare them? I have worked with Giardini a lot. I love their colors and it is easy to mix your own colors. But their products turn bad very quickly. Also I have a feeling that working with giardini and filetuese is not such a good combination. After 6 months Giardini colors turn unusable, they are water-based. Uniters colors are water-based as well I read. So I was wondering if they also only hold 6 months? I have also used colors from Fiebings. They hold forever and also work nicely with the fileteuse. But their color range is poor, I also don't know here about mixing colors. So I am wondering if is it worth changing from Giardini to Uniters? Any advice here? Also where best to buy them for Germany? Thank you for your advice in advance!
