Good morning everyone. I’m new to everything leather and have a holster nearing completion. I’m not sure if I have the order of operations down yet, and would love some input. So far I have….

Did all the tooling

Dyed

Glued

Wet formed

Sanded edges

Burnished edges with water

Sanded edges with 600

Dyed edges

Light coat of neatsfoot oil

From here, I plan on burnishing edges with gum trag, applying resist and antique, resolene, then a couple rivets and stitching.

Should I use gum trag on flesh side, or just resolene?

Seems like it’ll be difficult to get the interior completely coated with anything.

Should I have coated the flesh side with something before gluing? I was afraid any coating would keep me from being able to wet form. This holster is unlined, but I’m considering this one just practice and next one will be lined with some 2oz veg tan goatskin. Thanks for any advice.
