Very nice. What I find fascinating is the beautiful work on so many channels and every one of them uses a different method.
Good stuff. Good luck with that unicorn.
I got my Unicorn!!!!
Great tips to take your holster fitting process to the next level. I picked up an inexpensive generic holster at a yard sale and I'm using your video as a guide to shape it. This is the first time I've seen the wax paper trick so it'll be used from now on. Thanks for sharing knowledge!
Great video very great information. The product is a great help when you get behind on orders. It is very great quality and easy to use
Excited go get mine and try it. Hopefully I can figure it out and add a leather line to my kydex page. Thanks for the phone call today and helping me out!! I appreciate you
Great video! Thank you for all of the helpful tips.
Thanks for the Wax Paper tip!
You are very welcome
Great vid guys!
Good job guys!
never seen a holster done with that press before. very interesting and helpful, if I had one lol great video!
It's a great tool for sure. It really helps save your hands when doing a lot of molding in one night.
@@EDCLeatherhow many tons is the press?
Love the video. New to this but just learn much.
Glad it was helpful. We also have a video coming out soon talking about how to take one of our printable patterns and get it up to the stage of a flatpak.
Super video. Thanks
Thank you brother, check out the newest one on bluegun choices
Very nice
Just ordered mine.
Thank you
I'm very familiar with water based acrylic finishes, you said not to dilute it, and that is correct because that finish is mainly acrylic solids diluted in water, with a small amount of colloidal silica and ammonium hydroxide mixed in. Angelus doesn't disclose the percentage of acrylic solids in their finish, a guess might be around 18-20%, the rest is mainly water. Very interesting video. The content of colloidal silica and ammonium hydroxide is from Angelus MSDS sheet.
Good stuff guys! 👊
Appreciate it!
My dad always had a pack of pall mall in his shirt pocket
I followed your advice wet molding a knife sheath recently it was very helpful, thanks. I just ordered a flat for my Hellcat from your store and am wondering if you are goingto make generic magazine flat packs maybe? Thanks again and look forward to personalizing my holster, you guys are great.
Hey bruce! We posted a new pattern for mags on the website
Order your rubber in 12x24” and than cut the two in half to get your 4 pieces. A lot cheaper
Great video, on the dye, sealer, can you reuse the dye, sealer? Also Quick Draw is a lube Kydex guys use, it’s great for leather according to the manufacturer. 👊
You can absolutely continue to use the dye and sealer
Shoot been diluting resolean since 1989!
Awesome video George! Hey what thickness leather is it on your flatpacks?
2 pieces cut from 8 oz, so 16 oz in total.
Great video I wanted to ask you where to get the 2” rubber you use for the press. Thank you
We use 4 1" thick 12"x12" natural gum rubber sheets. 2 sheets on top and 2 sheets on the bottom. Heres a link to where we got ours: www.zoro.com/e-james-rubber-sheet-gum-1thick-12x12-40a-387-1a/i/G0303064/
Thank you very much appreciate it
"Let's let this cure and see what we get." is the statement made after the finish was applied to the holster. That indicates to me that the finish was allowed to dry on its own. However in the belt slot video, the statement was made that the acrylic finish on the leather came out of a hot box to be burnished and would be returned to that box to complete the finish curing process. Why isn't the curing hot box shown or explained so the proper finish can be obtained?
The hot box simply speeds up the drying process. It will dry by itself in room temp as well, but it will take a little longer. The hot boxes are just old cabinets that we put lizard heater lamps in with a temperature control box to make sure it doesn't get too hot inside. Hope that helps.
@@EDCLeather I've had acrylic finishes that peeled. So all information helps. Thanks.
@@normcrew4125 using a high quality acrylic finish is critical, we use Angelus Acrylic finishes, you need to insure that they have not been frozen, you will see people suggest to cut the acrylic with water, this is usually the case when we hear of acrylic peeling. look at the video on our channel on molding, dyeing and finishing a flatpak holster for a demonstration of acrylic sealing
What size dowel rod
5/16
Great video!! Quick question, can you use neatsfoot oil in that process or is it not recommended?
We do not recommend using any oil on retention holsters. Our goal is to make the leather as hard as possible, not to soften it.
@@EDCLeather Ok great! Thank you!
Great video - Thank you!!!! Just curious as to where you source your horsehair buffing wheels from? I have all the other parts awaiting assembly. Thank you, Stephen - Smooooth Creations
Amazon, I think the company was pilgrim ahie supply
@@EDCLeather Hmmmmm........ No luck so far.

I’m curious to what you use for your sight channel ? It looked like a modified pen but I wasn’t sure, not much luck looking online!
Yep it is just a pen shaft with a small channel cut out of it enough to slide over a front sight post. You can also modify an AR charging handle to work as well, but the pens are cheaper.
@@EDCLeather pens are much cheaper! Thanks for quick response, time to get back to building my holster!
What tool did you use to make the sight channel when you were wet molding?
You can cut down a bic pen for one, or, use an AR charging handle
Do you have a link for 1 gal resolute or sealer in satin? I bought the Glock 26 pattern. Nice fit. Just need horse hair brushing and dye and finish
BTW I purchased a Glock 26 pattern from you guys. Tight fit looks good feels good. Just need to dye and finish.
We purchase ours from Springfield leather company
I braded some shoestrings together once
Lolol
George where do you get the polishing wheels from?
horse hair buffing wheels are available from landis usa also from campbell-randall, expect 60 to 80 for cost. be advised, use one wheel for brown and one wheel for black, DONT CROSS THE STREAMS! It can cause the apocalypse
also, horsehair buffing wheel searched on amazon will returen a SIGNI horsehair wheel, we got a bolt on chuck for the drill press and have these as well
