Review on Leather Burnishing Tool Kit - Pointed Narra Tip, Leather Slicker Tool, Craft Set for Leatherworking with Rotary Tools by Amanda Castillo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The polishing is done, but not in the way I hoped.

Not sure what I think of these polishing tools yet. It works quickly and I used a battery powered Dremel (8220). If you leave the revs low it will stall and stall. At higher speeds, it continues to spin while touching the skin. I used water and a fine Japanese tragacanth to buff the edges - if I hand buff with a wooden mantle until it's smooth and shiny, the Dremel buff will even out the edge. I think my best recommendation is to use the motorized process for the first pass with water, then add the gum and do the last pass by hand. More tests will follow later.

Pros
  • Please note that the package does not include a drill.
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
