First Iwb Complete (For Taurus Pt740 Slim)

[Chevota]

This is my first IWB holster as well as the first holster that came out ok, in my opinion. My others were a little rough. Just bought this pistol and I intend to carry concealed so I thought I should make a IWB holster. Had some problems with finish, as always. I recently started airbrushing the stain on so let me know what you think. Briar brown with coal black faded along the outside. Finished with tan-coat. I really don't get why tan-coat doesn't water protect the stain. I touched the holster with a damp hand and had a fingerprint where it took off the stain. Do you guys all use resolene with good results? Let me know what you think. I am still very new to the game so any feedback is helpful.

Are you using stain or dye? Theres a difference. For a topcoat, I've been using the Eco-Flo satin sheen mixed 1:1 with water, with a half part super sheen, as the satin was a bit too dull for my taste. Just recently started trying out the Angelus 600, so far so good, seems to take much longer to fully cure than the eco-flo stuff. My experience has been, in regards to finish coats not necessarily leather based, that the longer something takes to dry, the more durable the finish.
