AzShooter Report post Posted May 10, 2022 I recently purchased some Rawhide from Tandy Leather. They had it on sale and I want to try to use it inside my holsters so that I can mold them to the gun and the leather will keep it's shape for a long time. I know of another holster maker that makes fast draw holsters lined with Rawhide and the speed is unbelievable. I tried a scissors but it's very difficult to cut. Should I soak it in water before attempting to cut it? Also once I put it between two other layers of 8 ounce leather and it's wet will Barge Cement hold it there until I form in in a vacuum bag?

tsunkasapa Report post Posted May 10, 2022 I use tin snips/sheet metal shears for rawhide. As to the Barge Cement, no idea. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dwight Report post Posted May 11, 2022 (edited) I made a sheath for a fellow once . . . lined it with rawhide . . . put it together with weldwood contact cement . . . that was several years ago . . . have not heard any negative comments since. He made the knife . . . I put the fold in the back . . . so he could pull it out without cutting the stitches . . . he was big time tickled with it. Did a matching bag for his rolling block 47-70 . . . with the attached EGA (EGA had 2400 beads in it) . . .
