When Using Wax Mixtures For Holsters........

[Bolt Vanderhuge]

I am experimenting with using wax mixtures for finishing holsters and am wondering a few things.

1. When using a wax mixture for the outside what do you use for the inside?

2. Do any of you also apply an acrylic finish like Resolene or one of the others?

2a. If yes, do you apply before or after the wax?

The wax mix I am trying out right now is a 1:1:1/2 mix of beeswax/paraffin/neatsfoot oil. I just used the wax mix for the first time today and it really did not give it the sheen I am used to or should I say, as much as I like, for my holsters. It did, however, firm up the holster a bit which was needed with the leather I used.

Thanks in advance for any and all help.
