forms????

[Srigs]

Here is where I get most of my forms. They offer Rings, ASP (red) and Blackhawk (new to the market but very good quality). Very good prices and very good customer service.

Elite Tatcial Services Looks like the site is having some problems right now.

The blue guns have not melted for me yet when doing kydex. You will get a little blue transfer when they are new, but I think it is paint because it stops coming off after a while.

Ditto on the transfer. A couple of my snugger holsters have the blue mark.

Stay away from the aluminum guns if you want a quality mold. They are very badly cast and are not of the original dimensions. Don't be cheap here. Don't ask me how I now I use Rings Blue guns and some ASP Red guns for the molding and do a final check with the real thing. Kydex, if done with the proper technique, will not harm your Blue Gun.

Unless you have access to a vertical mill and a sander, stay away from the aluminum dummies. It takes at least an hour to clean up the aluminum dummy guns, and they are more expensive than the blue guns to start with. Tack on $40 an hour for shop time (if you can find someone willing to go to the trouble) an it starts to be an expensive venture.

As long as you are only heating ther kydex in the oven and bending it over your plastic mold after that, you should be fine. Just don't go crazy with the heat gun while the kydex is on your mold.
