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

Use a vacuum bag then only have to add detail lines if wanted, this way your not burnishing as you form the holster.

The fastest and easiest way I have come up with is done with a 60 or 80 watt soldering iron temperature controlled through a light dimmer switch.We do all holes in our belts this way including the crew punch slot for the buckle. 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.

I've got a foodsaver. How long would I leave it in the bag?

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.

Thanks a lot Brian for a valuable tip!  I applied this on a few slotted holes and works amazing!
