Hi Peter !
Have a quick question on the edge finishing. Watched your tutorial number of times, but always when my paint is dry there is a channel in the middle (I think always in the place where leather is glued together) . Even with further good sanding , next time when paint is drying the same is happening. Is there a way to avoid it ?
Hi! Okay great! I always had the channel too but using the right grid sandpaper helped and also sanding until all the shiny spots are gone before applying the next layer and rounding it a bit like in the video. Glad the primer is helping too!
Which grid sandpaper do you use? I had this happen too when the grid I used was too high. It takes a lot more layers and sanding if it’s not rough enough for the first few layers
Hi Ivanna,
The key is sanding really well before applying edge paint. And most important is the sanding in a diagonal motion as I explain in the video. This is take the layers down evenly.
Even after the edge paint dries as you see this effect of the sunken middle you can sand diagonally until its all even then apply another coat.
good luck!
