Members KnotHead Posted September 16, 2010 Author Members Report Posted September 16, 2010 I know I don't like using white anymore than I have to. Simply because it does get dirty like you all say. This will most likely get dirty anyway. But that's what the customer wanted and I advised them that it would no matter how I did work it. It's a key fob so the handling will be a lot and with hands no matter how clean they are, or seem to be, the white will still get dirty. But it's a nice fob anyway. Brian...

Members 8thsinner Posted September 17, 2010 Members Report Posted September 17, 2010 Nice looking fob KW. Now, I heard a long time ago that rubber and leather should never be in direct contact with each other, something to do with the fumes of one effecting the other or the oils in the leather effecting the rubber most likely. Not sure how much of an affect this has, but it's something to think about. Oils are well known to degrade rubber. Quote Doing the right thing is bleeding for the cause. Website Facebook
Members KnotHead Posted September 18, 2010 Author Members Report Posted September 18, 2010 Interesting. I'm not sure how it will effect the hide. But my guess is that little bit of heat shrink wont be that bad, even over some time. But I don't know that for a fact. So, guess I will have to see when the time gets here. Thanks for the bit of info on the rubber. That will be helpful later on. I just order 4 more hides over the week and should be getting them within the month or so. They will be a welcome addition to the shop for sure. Brian... Quote Best Regards, Brian Kidd

Members KnotHead Posted September 25, 2010 Author Members Report Posted September 25, 2010 Well so far no results on the heat shrink tube. Seems to be holding up quite well and causing no problems. At least the customer has not come back with one yet. That's always a good sign. Brian... Quote Best Regards, Brian Kidd

Well, if he brings it back for ANY reason, just take it back from him and send it on down to Orlando. lol Quote
