IngleGunLeather Posted July 11, 2013 Author Report Posted July 11, 2013 What about dye bleed? No issues? None that I've noticed. I've been wearing a black one for months now and haven't seen any. Quote Ingle Gun leather
Members Leatherman87 Posted July 11, 2013 Members Report Posted July 11, 2013 Are you using pro oil dye? Even on edges I've noticed alot of people have alot problems with bleeding edges even after a acrylic sealer. Quote

Even on edges I've noticed alot of people have alot problems with bleeding edges even after a acrylic sealer. I didn't use pro oil dye, I used Tandy Pro Waterstain. Just now making the transition to the pro oil dye. I haven't finished anything with it yet though. Quote Ingle Gun leather
Members malabar Posted July 25, 2013 Members Report Posted July 25, 2013 Just finished up a couple more gun belts. I'm trying to build up some stock in order to have some items for display at some upcoming gun shows. I think these will be for display only as I don't see myself trying to make a hundred or so belts for immediate sale. But would like to display these so potential customers can see and feel the product. Very nice workmanship. You might try making one with a stitched keeper and see if you like the look. After you've got some more under your belt (so to speak), you might take a look at working with 1.5-inch strips to start with. Reduces the amount of work you put into each belt. Here's my question: How are you positioning these? Are you selling them as heavy-duty gun belts? Because I'm not sure they're heavy-duty enough. We use 8/9-ounce leather for the top AND for the lining, and run a strip of kydex down the center. This makes for a belt that will comfortably support the largest handgun, day-in and day-out. tk Quote

Members wlg190861 Posted February 15, 2014 Members Report Posted February 15, 2014 Your belts look great. Do you seal or put anything on the back/inside of your belts ? Quote
