Water-based edge primer and smoothing coat for use with The Identity Store Leading Edge coat.
125ml and 500ml
Specially formulated this primer smooths down edge fibres and seals the leather ready to accept edge paints.
This is a neat product that smooths down edges and can be used on mineral (chrome) as well as veg tan. It eliminates the need for the slicking part of the process. We find it is a very good product to also use on thinner leathers where it is harder to get a good burnish going.
You put it on with a make-up applicator, paint brush or small dauber, working in a single direction. You get a feel after a few movements of the leather going silky underneath the applicator. You can then apply your edge finishes as normal – either Feibing’s or our own Leading Edge products.
The Edge Foundation acts as a primer and has been designed to work best with the Leading Edge paints to give a good adhesion however to our knowledge the Edge Kote appears to also work well.

Customer Review
"I've had great experiences with this company and the staff are really helpful. The identity edge foundation is absolutely fantastic, particularly for split leathers which don't burnish well. You don't have to sand or burnish at all, you just apply the foundation and then the paint and the edge looks amazing. I'd definitely recommend it."

"I was struggling to get my edges nice (it's chrome-tanned leather and refuses to burnish). So I tried the edge foundation that Identity leather make. But take a look at my edges - I'm pretty chuffed."
