Members Rohn Posted December 15, 2015 Members Report Posted December 15, 2015 I treat my holsters with Tan-kote from Fiebings. I usually give the a couple of coats. It give a good looking finish and seems to last a long time too. Quote Rohn(John 8:32) And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (KJV)
Boriqua Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 I use resolene for most of my projects as my finish coat. I usually only add neatsfoot oil when I have used a cut dye for my dying. I have no scientific basis but I figure if I cut my cordovan solvent dye 50% with denatured alcohol then spray the leather good and wet with it and let it dry that I ought to replenish some oil. Could be complete waste of time hoodoo but it makes me feel better. If I use straight dye I usually just finish up with resolene on most things and I have people show me holsters I made 8 yrs ago still going strong. On pieces that I know will spend a great deal of time under heavy field use I offer the neatsfoot/beeswax paste finish and melt it into the surface. Gives a great looking TOUGH long wearing finish.

Members PAMuzzle Posted January 8, 2016 Members Report Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) Holster looks great!! Mind if I pick your brain on how you did the coin inlay? I am trying to add two coins (1851 and 1856 large penny) to a belt I am using for a two rig set Edited January 8, 2016 by PAMuzzle Quote
