Size: 120g

Available in clear, black & brown.

Made in Japan.

Directions for use:

• Shake well before use.
• For best results, first bevel the edge of leather with an edge beveler.
• If leather is going to be stained, antiqued, or dyed, only apply Tokonole after dying, as it may block penetration of the dye or stain.
• Apply a thin coat of Tokonole to the leather edge with a wool dauber, cloth or slightly damp sponge.
• Wipe off any excess that might end up on the surface of the leather as this might darken the leather.
• Work in small sections to prevent the Tokonole from drying completely before burnishing.
• After applying, allow to penetrate the leather for a few seconds, but start burnishing before the Tokonole has dried completely.
• Rub edge briskly with a burnisher/edge slicker, bone folder, or piece of canvas.
• As the Tokonole dries and heats up due to friction caused by rubbing, the treated edge will become darker and glossier.
• Repeat until the desired burnish is achieved, optionally sanding the edge between applications.
  
• For precise application without unnecessary waste, make use of a needle applicator.

Note:

• Close the lid tightly after use and store in a cool place out of reach of children and pets.
• This product is not water resistant. To protect edges form moisture, apply a water-resistant finishing agent over this product.
