This is my first post and I spent several hours trying to search for this topic with no real luck. However I found other information that i would not have thought about. I have made holsters in the past but have never hand boned one but always tooled. From what I gather Wet molding it with a water temp about 120 degrees and a drop of dish soap will help in "forming the leather". Presume just utilizing your fingers for the major out line around the trigger guard, shroud and slide. I noticed someone was using the end of a sharpie for other parts. This is a IWB for a Walther PPK My questions are as follows:
1. Do you dye the leather before or after molding and boning?
2. Where is the best place to start the boning. I have not figured out how to find the ejection port and other lines that would need to be boned.
3. When letting the holster dry to you leave your unloaded and wrapped gun in or do you take it out.
I read many post but these were the questions I still had. My apologies if I missed somewhere in another post.
Thank you,
Juan
