Preparing Leather and More
The scratching brush is an indispensable tool for leatherwork, shoe repairs, and other projects where you need to create a rough surface. It is especially suitable for:
- Preparing leather before gluing: When gluing leather, it is important that the surfaces are rough so that the glue can get a proper grip. The scratching brush helps to remove smooth surfaces and creates a more receptive surface for the glue.
- Ballet shoes and dance shoes: The scratching brush is often used to give ballet shoes and dance shoes a rougher sole so that they get better grip on the dance floor.
- Give the leather a rough surface: If you want to give your leather project a rustic or vintage look, you can use the scratching brush to create a rougher surface.
Why is it a good idea to use a scratching brush?
- Better adhesion: By using a scratching brush before gluing, you ensure a stronger and more durable bond.
- Increased safety: On shoes, the rougher surface provides better grip and reduces the risk of slipping.
- Creative possibilities: The scratching brush allows you to experiment with different surface textures and give your leather work a unique touch.
How to use the scratching brush:
- Brush lightly and evenly over the area you want to roughen.
- Avoid pressing too hard as it can damage the leather.
- Test on a piece of excess leather first to get a feel for how much to brush.
The scratching brush is a must-have for anyone working with leather or wanting to improve the grip of their shoes. Add it to your tool kit today!
