can i slightly shrink leather that i already wet molded?

Recommended Posts

i am very new to wet molding and leather work in general.  i recently made an edc belt holster and it turned out ok.  one slot is for a multi tool and other slot is for flashlight.  the flashlight slot is a little too large and i wanted to know if there is a way to shrink that portion of the holster so it holds the flashlight a little tighter.  i can turn the holster upside down and both stay in their compartments but still.. i am fixed on making it a little more snug.    I've heard water alcohol mixture, and then heat.  not sure if that is the best option.  any ideas?   veg-tan  6oz already dyed.  Thanks!!

Line the flashlight part with a thin leather?

or put a leather wrap on the flashlight?

Thank you!! That's a great recommendation.  I will line it with leather.

Well, it would help to see a pic of this in order to make a proper recommendation but off-hand, I would say -- stitch a line around the flashlight. That's how we would do it on a gun holster.
