Tokonole vs Gum Tragacanth: Which Should You Use?
Tokonole and Gum Tragacanth are both water-based edge burnishing compounds for vegetable-tanned leather. Tokonole gives a slightly more polished, consistent result and is available in clear, brown, and black. Gum Tragacanth is the traditional product, giving a slightly drier, more natural finish. For most makers, Tokonole is the more predictable starting choice.
