  2. a lot has to do with the epoxy. and the way it is applied. first, always pour in 2 coats. the first base coat is very thin and that is where you get rid of the bubbles that are itrapped in the wood. after the first coat you can then pour with out worry of bubbles if the epoxy it mixed correctly. on my counter top. see the wood counter top. that is 1/2' think no bubbles in a 7' x 3' pour clear pour. no color using 2 coats. did you make another doggy for your little girl? that idea is sweet, i know she was tickled

    Snap?

    Snap?

    Frequent pulling the leather snap causes the hole for the snap to elongate . after a period the snap comes through the leather I am referring to multiple times per day . Not 1 time a day type use

    Snap?

    looking for recommendations for a closure for a cell phone holster that will be used frequently Magnet is not strong enough post would scrape every thing snaps wear out the leather Suggestions?
  11. I work with a lot of Military Surplus that is canvas and leather. Some of the old leather is in pretty bad shape when I get it This is what I do. And I do not know if it is the ''correct'' procedure. But works for me 1] clean. 1 part vinegar 3 parts water, clean salt stains and dirt 2] rehydrate rub neetsfoot into the leather, let it sit over night, reapply. repeat till leather is soft 3] Protection. rub mink oil into the hide, let it sit for 20 minutes then rub off 4] Wax. I wax the leather with Kiwi wax. I do not use any other Brand This is a shoulder holster that was given to me. He wanted to toss it in the trash because it was so dry I did the above steps, and use it
  12. I am using 2 layers of Boar hide on mine
