3248tm Report post Posted October 8, 2018 I'm looking to install a screw on concho on the loop of a gun holster. How do I make sure the Chicago screw does not scar the holster. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Itch Report post Posted October 8, 2018 I would glue a piece oF leather or suede over the screwhead .. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
battlemunky Report post Posted October 8, 2018 Yep, glue a backer to it. It'll keep the screw from backing off as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fredk Report post Posted October 8, 2018 or glue a donut of leather over it; thicker than the screw head. Then the slot would still be available Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Nelson Report post Posted October 8, 2018 Might I suggest, put the screw between the layers of the holster if it is a lined holster. Both layers of my holsters are tooling leather, the same weight. Super glue the stud when you put it in. cover the screw head with a thin piece of leather, skived to a feather on the edges . Glue the holster together and sew. I don't build a lot of holsters but the ones I do are all western holsters and fairly expensive. The only place I put a concho on a holster is on the band going around the holster. I just don't like the "LUMP" on the inside of a holster. Not saying I am right but just how I do it.

PAMuzzle Report post Posted October 28, 2018 I Love the tooling and the color. What color is it and how did you apply? Full strength or diluted? Thanks Doug Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
