Nice job You have talent

Looks good to me but wouldn't the clip make a big mark really quick? Maybe put on a guard or a pattern to hide it?

Oh, there is no sign of cracking at all and i am kinda afraid to do anything else and mess it up.

Well thanks for the advice, Twin oaks. I think that I am glad that it is too late to listen and not do what I have done. The holster appears to be as good as anything that I could have bought, except for the areas that I could not get to. Time well tell, however. Since you mentioned the danger of acetone, I have recalled reading this discussion, elsewhere, but luckily forgotten. At the time I signed up I was in a marathon session of learning about leather. I learned enough to just buy what I did. I do plan on getting into this hobby in the future, and make a few things, as I am kind of hooked. The holster is for a Dan Wesson, I don't know why the gun outline shows up so much because it has hardly been holstered at all.

Well being out of kiwi wax, I brushed on a watered down Mop n Glo mix. This was followed down by a wipe down with a paper towel. Before this, I rubbed the holster with a paper towel. Niether, before the M n G, or after, gave up any dye. There was barely a hint of dye on the paper and I am thrilled. The large amount of acetone did wonders. I believe.

I am wondering if this is spirit based dye because the label said to rinse the applicator with water to store it.

Is there another way?

Bwahahahahha not really, in fact, my total experience consists of this Circle K holster and the extreme luck that just somehow occurred. All I wanted was a black holster, which wasnt cheap or quick, not to mention, barely possible. All this had me thinking of making one and led me here. I decided to just buy this one, which was shiny brown. Today: I thought, what the heck get out the acetone and really clean her up. After half a roll of paper towels, I get out the Kiwi black shoe die and this is the result Without spending another six or seven hours on the net, I thought I would just ask the experts concerning what happened. I was wondering exactly what my dieing procedure would be called. I mostly want to know what to do next, to coat the surface. It looks shinier than would appear, but I am guessing that it is really not fit to be worn or leave the house until protected. I was about to spray it down with enamel clear coat. You guys have a stellar reputation and the best smilies EVA
