Giardini Basecoat Dense, 4 sizes

Made in Italy, the Giardini MAXMATT Basecoat Dense is what says it is, a basecoat, the first coat on the leather edge used to prep for the next layer of colored edge paint such as the Basic Edge Paint, Fluorescent, or Metallic. The Basecoat dense makes for a stronger adhesion both between the leather and the basecoat dense, and then the basecoat dense to the colored edge paint. Due to its denser characteristics, it also helps to fill in the uneven surface of the leather edge for a smoother layer. This is especially true when you have combined two layers of leather together, as the basecoat dense will make the gap between the two layers invisible.

The Basecoat Dense can be applied by hand or machine. Once it has dried it can be sanded or brushed to make the surface smooth. 

Giardini vs Fenice and others:

  • Thicker edge with a single application
  • 50% better cracking test
  • 30% better adhesion
  • Color resistance to UV rays
  • 10x more sustainable and eco-friendly
  • Better VOC (this means less unhealthy gases being let off)

About Giardini Basecoat Dense:

The Basecoat dense was developed for manufacturers and crafters as an edge prep product to facilitate better adhesion (less edge paint peeling), and smoother edges.

The Basics:

  • Application: By hand or machine
  • Dry Time: 30 minutes at room temperature
  • Storage Temperature: 50*F to 86*F (10*C to 30*C)
  • Shelf Life: 12 months

Application of the Basecoat Dense:

  1. Begin by applying by hand or machine a layer of Basecoat Dense. **Please note it appears white when wet, but once dried is semi-transparent**
    • Please see the video on this page on how to use the Basecoat.
  2. Once the Basecoat has dried, lightly sand the edges until the surface is smooth. Use very fine sand paper or a Brite pad.
    • If you want a thicker edge repeat Step 1 and apply a 2nd layer of Basecoat. You may not need to sand again if the edges are smooth.
  3. Now you are ready to apply the Basic Edge Paint, Fluo, or Metallic color of your choice.

Absolutely the best!!!

The base coat is perfect for misbehaving leather edges, or add a tad bit of color and it makes perfect edges, the quality is outstanding, it's durable and tough, the coverage and handling of this product is beyond any other.

Amazing! Removes several steps to finishing leather projects.

The one skill I have been trying to improve are my edges uniformity. In most cases, I get everything cut evenly, do some light sanding and either burnish or edge paint. I wanted to test the product by gluing my pieces together with some slightly imperfect cuts that created small unevenness that woul...

Giardini is the best!!!!

This base coat is a MUST HAVE if you want to make a polished, professional looking product. In the past I have tried other brands, but nothing compares to Giardini!! It goes on smooth and is extremely easy to work with. I will never use another brand. I use it mainly to finish the edges of my wallet...

The Only One

I absolutely LOVE this product. I use it on all my wallets and even on the fobs that I make. I know it is for leather, but it works beautifully for vinyl too! It is the only basecoat to use in my book!!!

This product never disappoints, it dries quickly and fills in the gaps if. It leaves your edges smooth when you top it off with Maxedge Protecting Gloss.

Basecoat Dense is better than you deserve

If you like painting your edges five times with sanding in between each coat and still getting a lumpy mess, skip this product. Basecoat Dense is freakin magic! No more than two coats with minimal sanding. Just let it dry completely in between coats. One coat of paint and it’s done. Seriously, bu...

Basic Base coat and edge paint

This is a very good product, I will be ordering this again! The base coat really saves the day. 30 minute dry time but my opinion 45 minutes to 1 hour dry time sand with 320 grit paper before applying Giardini edge paint. DO NOT SHAKE THESE BOTTLES because of air bubbles, stir them.
