Not working. Soaked in cold and soaked in heated water. Same outcome. NO stiffy. 

Plan B -- anyone know of an ultra thin plasticy material I can heat and mold into a sort of one side flattened oval and then place inbetween the outter Crazy Horse and an ultra thin goatskin liner?

 

UPDATE!!

Just tried the above water test. It's Chrome. Boo. Oh well.

But the GOOD NEWS -- I found this stuff. PERFECT Thermos form thing plasticy material I can shape and use as a form inbetween the leather out and inner line!

YIPPEE!  https://www.wonderflexworld.com

Kydex is the word there.  With a heat gun . . . you can virtually form it into almost any shape you want.

Give it a good sanding before forming it (whole lot easier while it is still flat) . . . and then you can contact cement your liner and your outer cover to it . . . holds good.

May God bless,

@Dwight 

Thanks for that. I just ordered some to try. That and this other stuff called Fosshape Black 400 by Wonderflex https://www.wonderflexworld.com/

I'm pretty sure the Kydex is going to be the best solution tho.. I'll report back with pics...
