steelhawk Report post Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) I have a snap on holster that is already black. I want black loops. I've made them before. Normally they get a bit stiff after wetting and Resolene. This time I want the loops to be soft. What's a good way to get them dyed black but stay supple?

Dwight Report post Posted April 3, 2016 What I do is roll them around a small steel dowel, . . . do that a couple times, . . . they will loosen right up. May God bless, Dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steelhawk Report post Posted April 5, 2016 I tried something else. After cutting them out, I applied neatsfoot oil and let set a few hours. Then I used Feibings oil dye, leaving it overnight to dry. The next day I applied Aussie Wax and let soak in for a few hours before using a blow dryer to melt the wax in. Then I finished with Leather Balm and Atom Wax, letting it dry and then setting the snaps. The loops stayed flexible, but appear to be quite durable, so I sent the holster off.
