Members Clintock Posted March 16, 2017 Author Members Report Posted March 16, 2017 Might have to try that. Reckon a wood burner would work the same. Trying to figure out how to keep my leather from burnishing when wet forming. By the time I get decent I'll have enough holsters for my pistols to wear one each day of the week. Lol Quote
MADMAX22 Posted March 16, 2017 Report Posted March 16, 2017 Use a vacuum bag then only have to add detail lines if wanted, this way your not burnishing as you form the holster. Quote
Members Clintock Posted March 16, 2017 Author Members Report Posted March 16, 2017 I've got a foodsaver. How long would I leave it in the bag? Quote

Takes a bit of practice but gives excellent results and on belts that sell between $200 and $500 that is what you gotta do I reckon.See pics. The tip get shaped to suit and polished generally every 200 or so belts. Very nice Sir! WOW... Quote

I would get some opinions from more experienced holster makers but I do about an hour give or take. Be mindful of the wrinkles that can develop in the bag. Quote

Thanks a lot Brian for a valuable tip! I applied this on a few slotted holes and works amazing! Edited March 18, 2017 by gigi Quote Houston, we have a problem
