Leather Burnishing Gum — LeTech

Leather Burnishing Gum is a colourless, water-based wax designed for the professional finishing of natural leather edges. Its balanced consistency makes it easy to apply, spread and then buff to a smooth, polished finish. Once worked in and burnished, the product delivers a refined edge with a subtle gloss and water-repellent properties.

Leather Burnishing Gum combines natural waxes and water-based polymers. The components are selected to optimize burnishing performance, allowing the edge to be compacted, smoothed and polished for a clean, professional look and reliable protection. The wax creates a smooth, glossy and well-finished edge that enhances the overall appearance of hand-crafted leather goods.

The product can be used on both vegetable-tanned and chrome-tanned leathers. It is also suitable for treating the flesh side (back side) of natural leather where a more controlled, refined surface is required.

Leather Burnishing Gum emphasizes the uniqueness of your leather projects and helps them stand out with a clean, finished edge and additional protection against external influences.
