Idea For Permanent, Accurate Holster Pattern

[Reaper]

Yes you can do a complete pattren set out of Kydex and it would last forever.

You can also get it to lay flat without issue once you re-heat it, as long as you lay it out on something flat and then place some totally flat larger than the Kydex pattern and put some weight on top of it and let it cool. I would probably only use .060. You can also use Kydex for a brace to keep the mouth of a holster open and then cover it with leather. I'd again use .060 or .030 ig you can find it. KnifeKits.com is a good starting place for various needs in Holster making.

One thing I was thinking about including what you were asking about, was with the stitch line. A Dremal could be used with a cut off blade to actually cut out the cut line. Then the stitch pattern could be drilled out along it. This way you mark it all out at one time.

With anything you do, if you shorten the process as much as possibly in the correct manner, you have just improved your ROI and Profit Margin.
