So I just got my black rocco and the corners look okay, but I'm a bit worried... do you think I should use Edge Kote?
Oh no! Is that after one application or multiple? Now I'm worried.
I didn't apply it to all my rocco's only two that had scuffs on the edges. I'm glad I didn't apply it to my bal bag!
^^I think if you moisturize your bag it shouldnt crack. I put some on my black last night and made sure I had moisturized it prior, and after. Should be ok 
I think the key is light application-less chance for build up/cracking.
I would call Barbara from LMB and ask her opinion on what to do...

Susan... did you get the neutral color? I want to get some. My Black Rocco looks okay, but its not as "shiny" on some corners as the rest of the bag. Ya know?
I'll moisturize and do it again afterwards. How long do you have to wait to have it dry? I want to use it ALL THE TIME now. lol.
by the way... any good websites you can recommend? The one I googled was for the company and they are charging $10 for shipping for a $7 item. sigh.

I would lightly moisturize and wait overnight. I got both the black and neutral-best prices were on Ebay!! Both were under 8 bucks each shipped!
Do you remember the seller you used? Ebay worries me sometimes. I used to use it all the time,... but with so many weird sellers out there, I get wary.
Susan.. thanks in advance!
Oh I understand!
This is the seller I bought the neutral from

And I bought the Black from this store-the store above has both colors available now (this one only had black, and I bought it before I decided to get neutral too...

Thank you! I'm so excited to seal the edges. I just hope I don't screw it up. I can't believe I'm getting so anal/ocd about my bags. I just love my black rocco and I want to use it ALL THE TIME.
By the way... for those that moisturized their bags, did you have any color come off? I'm not too concerned, but when I was gently wiping down my black Rocco tonight... there was a faint black color that came off with it. I'm not sure if that is the norm or what. I haven't sprayed anything on it yet, so maybe I just need to "seal" it.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!! Yes, I moisturized with LMB pro cream prior to applying the seal and yesterday after reading Ms. Shopchic's comments.

Yes, I noticed a small amount of color on the rag after.
^^I am pretty obsessive about my bags too-you are not alone!
Dye will come off a tad on most all bags if you rub the moisturizer in a little too "rough". Its normal, no biggie-and hard not to do! Because of this I use my hands to apply my moisturizer (I use LMB botanical serum and shield) and voila, no dry transfer!
I am sure you wont screw up the edge kote! I applied mine with a small paintbrush and lightly-looks great!

You did it around the whole edge right? Did you use black on black or neutral on your black one? I definitely don't think my maple velvet cut will be able to use it. lol. That would look terrible. I haven't even received her yet!
