PastorBob Posted June 17, 2021 Report Posted June 17, 2021 Very nice. Did you use a backing for the shark or is it applied straight to the holster? What did you use to edge burnish the shark?

Did you use a backing for the shark or is it applied straight to the holster? What did you use to edge burnish the shark? Expand Thank you! Yes, I used a leather backer for the shark. Once the glue has dried, I cut the excess shark off, sand even, crease for stitch line. Edge as you would any other leather, then dye. For burnishing, I use Barry King's Quick Slick, followed but black Brillant Yankee Wax, then buff with horsehair brush. After all that it gets glued in place. Oh, I hold off on sanding and edging the top until after I have stitched it into place, then repeat that whole process. Edited June 17, 2021 by OldNSlowMarine spelling error Quote
