Reaper Report post Posted September 16, 2011 Using 3M number 70 Spray on Glue and 3M number 90 spray on glue together... One bonds well to Plastics and Rubber (make sure to ruff up the surface). I use a Metal Rasp to do this in a cross hatch pattern. Spray on Glue and let sit to get tacky. I Spray on the other to the flesh side of the Leather (2-3 oz Vegtan Royal Oak) and let sit to get tacky. Place the Kydex which is already cut to shape and lay on top of leather, glue to glue. I use a small pastry rolling pin and roll from the center out to the edges. This gets most for the glue spread evenly between the two. I let sit for a bit like that and then I place it into a manila folder (protects the leather from the steel (explain the use of this in a minute) and it also helps keep any glue pressed out from between from getting onto the leather, then between two steel plates. Then that is placed on a 12 tons press or in a large bench vise. Compress them and walk away for about 30 minutes, all air and excess glue is now out and it is not going to come apart unless you work at it for a while... Kydex can now be heated with a heat gun, shaped, cooled and assembled.... You now have a leather lined Kydex holster and are a jump ahead of those who are not lining them which keeps many from stuffing their Kimber, Sig, Colt and so on into a holster which would otherwise ruin the finish...
