    Beginner here, so grain of salt but my understanding is that generally chrome tan doesn’t burnish well and most use “edge paint” to seal and get a nice smooth edge on chrome tan.

      It’s hard to burnish that’s true. However, I was also told that all leather burnishes. 🤷🏻‍♀️ So I think it’s a bit in the technique and a bit in product you use.

    I’ve read and heard people say that you can’t because of the leather structure after chrome tanning. You basically have to use edge paint.
