Mando.fr Most other places that sell this electric creaser/Fileteuse is very expensive. There are two types of high quality electric creasers produced in Europe. Regad and Adece.

I feel like its a compromise in quality. What the base coat does is fills in cracks and uneven levels of the layers which will give you a quicker cleaner edge, however in time it won't wear as well, will eventually crack as its just a synthetic material. The best is to sand the layers perfectly and have as thin a layer possible on the edges. This lasts longer and won't crack or peel.

Hi Peter, So you mean finishing edge without a basecoat is much durable. Then I would rather focus on improving my edge paint skill. :) I always appreciate for your kind answer. Thank you Peter!

Peter, the croc texture seem to be different. Is the a custom plated leather as well? Who does that? I didn’t see AMTAN and Heng Long having such skins

I ended up using contact cement. I figured a water-based glue wouldn't be a good idea for metal.

Try and see :) but I bet you already did I have done it with casual home glue 😀

I had the skin embossed here in switzerland with a heated plate with a crosshatch pattern :-)

Okay thank you for your reply, it would indeed be for completed items (so small leather goods, accessories and bags)

Hi Peter, Thank you for your quick reply! That’s great, good to know. I hope I can check out the press in Paris next week.

Perfect, thank you!

You cut out a triangle a little shorter than the length of the leather patch and stitch it together

Hi Edward, These straps Anna be made form all kinds of different materials. Usually viscose, or viscose, cotton or nylon blend or all nylon. There are a lot of suppliers for that if you want to order larger quantities. I will be adding several solid colours to my webstore hopefully within the next week in 4cm width. P
