@Leathercraft Masterclass was wondering if you had a chance to try this out for yourself yet? I found a couple of older posts where you sounded like you wanted to try it but had not yet. My dilemma is that I have a place within walking distance of my house where I can buy Angelus but the Uniters dealer is across country and this time of year cautions about shipping the product in below freezing temps.
I know the obvious answer is probably just "buy it and see" but given that I've never used any edge paint I wouldn't know what was the fault of the product versus my lack of skill. So just hoping for somebody who has direct experience with their edge paint to know it's worth buying.
Thanks!

The problem is, that only seems to come in two colors. So I guess I'll play around with the regular multi-color paint and see what happens.
Well this shows how little I know. In my mind, I thought if it's an acrylic paint designed for leather and made to be extremely flexible (their website shows a piece of painted leather twisted into a spiral) then it would be ok. I have sent an email to Angelus asking for further clarification. I will report back...
Given the range of colors and the multiple additives (thinner, thicker, matte, satin, gloss) it would be wonderful to be able to use the product. But obviously if it's going to fail after application there is no point. Seems odd that it could bond strong enough to last on a sneaker but not live on the edge of a watch strap, but we've already established I don't know anything ;)
@CrankAddict No is the short answer, but taking a look at various websites it appears that they don't make an edge paint, only leather paint designed for artwork on the grain side.
Do you have a link for their edge paint? Maybe I missed it.
