Why sticking it back fails
- The old coat has already let go. Glue holds it for a few days, then the edge flexes and it lifts again.
- Painting over cracks gives thicker cracks. New paint on old, loose paint peels together.
- Once it starts, it keeps going. Peeling edge paint does not stop on its own.
How a proper edge is done
- All the old coat comes off.
- The edge is sanded smooth and straight.
- New colour goes on in thin layers, each dried and sanded before the next.
- Matched to the bag as it is today, then sealed and burnished.
Jugaad for one evening only: a matching permanent marker hides a small chip on a dark edge. It is a hide, not a fix: no glue, no nail polish on the edge.
