Members grumpyold Posted January 18, 2015 Members Report Posted January 18, 2015 I had a couple holsters, that due to poor casing process, I didn't like the final product. I've used the holster a lot and several people have thought they looked great. Sometimes I believe we become over hard on ourselves if the end project doesn't meet our expectations.

Members Dwight Posted January 18, 2015 Members Report Posted January 18, 2015 My first instinct would be that you "hung" it after you sprayed it, . . . I always lay my holsters down flat after dying, . . . otherwise I get exactly what you got, . . . light on the top, . . . dark on the bottom where the stain migrated. I learned about that several years ago, . . . made a bunch of belts, . . . all the same day, . . . had my brain dis-engaged, . . . only the black ones were up to par. All the brown ones were very dark at the buckle end, . . . light at the tongue end, . . . cause that was the way I hung them when I drug em through the dye tank. I'd just dye it black, . . . put a coat of Resolene on it and sell it, . . . it should look real good then. May God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God. If you can read, . . . thank a teacher. If you are reading this in English, . . . thank a veteran. www.dwightsgunleather.com
Members chiefjason Posted January 19, 2015 Members Report Posted January 19, 2015 I had one come out similar a while back. But I kind of mottle my browns anyway, I like the extra character of it. But every little nick, bug bite, weird spot, and dimple took the dye darker. Looked freckled. It was for a buddy so I just walked it over to his place. He loved it. lol Quote
