Members BigRiverLeather Posted August 3, 2011 Members Report Posted August 3, 2011 Has anyone had problems with the blue coloring coming off on the inside of your holster? That will happen. If you order them direct from Rings you can specify that you want it without the blue finish and this will not happen. If you buy them elsewhere, you can wash them, I don't remember what people are using to do so, but it will come off. Someone might chime in. Quote Big River Leather
Members PHIPPS CRAFTED LEATHER Posted August 8, 2011 Members Report Posted August 8, 2011 It seems to me that the choices are interesting but limited. I wonder has anyone seen the 3D printing now available? Check out this youtube video www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZboxMsSz5Aw. I have no idea the cost but it is certainly cool. Quote

The machines are very expensive and for an item the size of a gun you can pay as much as $150 to have it printed. Plus, you would have to have a 3d scanner as well or pay somebody to create a digital model for each individual gun. Quote

I'm sure any solvent will work, I just happen to have quite of bit of alcohol to dilute dye. I just spray it on the gun, then wipe it off with a paper towel. It comes right off. Usually spend less than 3 minutes cleaning each new blue gun and they are ready to use. Quote
