Posted: Mar 09. 2017 | Tags: [LEATHER EDGE PAINT](https://blog.leatheredgepaint.com/topic/leather-edge-paint) author: [Enrico Giardini](https://blog.leatheredgepaint.com/author/enrico-giardini) | Comments: 1 Sometimes, when painting the leather it may happen that the** leather edge paint** sully the leather surface. Obviously, this imperfection has to disappear. Our advice, if you noticed it promptly, is to remove it **while the paint is still wet.  ** To remove the edge paint the most practical way is to do it with your finger because as the paint has only just been applied it will come away easily and no smudge or imperfection will be visible once dry. In case you noticed the mistake **after the complete drying of the paint**, the best way to remove it without damaging the leather is to first try with a soft brush and if this does not succeed you can use “**rubber for leather**” however, cleaning performed while the paint is still wet is definitely the best, quickest and precise way. Therefore, being careful during the application will save yourself a lot of time and work!   **Download** our [**free** **Basecoat User Guide for Leather Edge Dyeing**](https://info.leatheredgepaint.com/leather-edge-basecoat-users-guide) and find out the new process for Leather Edge finishing.   [![Basecoat User Guide (ENG).jpg](https://blog.leatheredgepaint.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BASECOAT/Basecoat%20User%20Guide%20(ENG).jpg?width=301&name=Basecoat%20User%20Guide%20(ENG).jpg)](https://info.leatheredgepaint.com/how-to-achieve-the-highest-quality-on-your-leather-edge)  [![Download Free eBook](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/1828330/d4b171c4-438c-42b2-8b01-96a31c132293.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/1828330/d4b171c4-438c-42b2-8b01-96a31c132293) [LEATHER EDGE PAINT](https://blog.leatheredgepaint.com/topic/leather-edge-paint) [**](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=&url=&source=tweetbutton&text=) [**](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://blog.leatheredgepaint.com/how-to-clean-the-leather-surface) [**](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://blog.leatheredgepaint.com/how-to-clean-the-leather-surface&title=&summary=&source=) ### About this blog All you need to know about Giardini and the leather world, you can find it here.
