druid Report post Posted July 15, 2010 Does anyone have some good ideas on lining kydex with leather? Well, after working with Kydex to make paintball marker holders, I'd say that if - IF - I were to line it with leather, I'd use the thinnest and most pliable leather you could find...say...pigskin splits [even economy]...and form the rough cut leather to the object FIRST and then bend the Kydex over the item [say a firearm] and then glue them together with a binary epoxy. The Kydex will bend and mold to whatever you want [also dependent on thickness] but it gets "Holy crap!!!" hot with the heat gun...hot enough to burn the leather if trying to mold it inside it. Here are the two holsters I made: NSG Splatmaster pistol PMI 68 Magnum The Kydex is the .08 thickness and both used a good portion of each of the 12"x24" sheets I got for them. On both holsters I used these belt clips Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
