Mungo Report post Posted June 11, 2014 I'm working on a western holster and need to know if the Eco-Flo finish is supposed to be applied to the interior (flesh side) of the holster. BTW, I offer my thanks in advance since I post on a slow, dial-up laptop, but read the answers on my faster smartphone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwight Report post Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) Finishing the interior of a holster is kinda like pickles on a cheeseburger, . . . some do, . . . some don't. It's all personal choice of the maker (or end user). I personally only use pro oil stains, . . . and generally finish with Resolene, . . . but there are at least a dozen other ways. Unless a customer is adamant about not doing anything to the inside, . . . the whole thing gets the same treatment, . . . inside and out. My resolene finish protects the leather from the oils and stuff that accumulate on guns, . . . along with the unburned powder, residue, carbon, etc. All that junk if it gets into a holster which has soaked up some oil, . . . will become just like rubbing compound, . . . and WILL mess up the finish on a fine gun. OTOH, . . . most folks today are buying the plastic fantastics, . . . no stainless or blued steel, . . . so the finish is a moot point.

Tesla Ranger Report post Posted June 11, 2014 I usually treat the flesh side with an edging agent like Fieblings Edge Kote. I'm not sure how grease-resistant it might be (which could be relevant for a holster) but it seems to stand up to wear and tear a lot better than most stains or finishes.
