Thanks for the info. Would you mind doing a video on layout design work on a vac formed holster?

@@brentermis4301 eventually we will be designing our own splits. But these particular splits/molds are already designed and implement certain attachments. Mainly used for repeat holsters

Sir, how many degrees is preheated in the press? I was confused, when I set the heat to 180 °. the quality of the carbon is scuffed or peeled off

[@FalTacUnlimitedLLC]

My press is set to 410⁰ for 100 seconds. All presses vary though. The kydex comes out at 360 to 370⁰

What’s the purpose for the two pieces of tape? I just fold them and clamp the trigger guard. Wouldn’t it create a gap and make the gun jiggle? Plus I didn’t know you could go the opposite way on the router. That will help me a lot. Great video.

Extra width so it doesn't scratch the slide up

Hey man, great videos, I've been watching all of them and I learn a lot. I have a question though if you don't mind. The first, is the smell, I live in a small house and only have my basement to work in, the smell drives my wife nuts. Do you know how to make it smell less? I use a heat press not an toaster oven, do you notice one smells less than the other?

[@FalTacUnlimitedLLC]

Well to be honest. There will always be a smell when heating up kydex. Its like a faint skunk or weed and no in between. You can run a fumes extractor to help but have a dedicated space for everything

[@dougdaniels]

Are the button washers a new idea? Look great!

[@FalTacUnlimitedLLC]

Nope. They're finish washers. I don't use them, but like I state in the vid, once a week I build my buddies holsters at his shop and thats how he would like them

[@mardocombat5280]

Sir, what kind of router is that?

[@jordanhandley2359]

Yo Iggy, this probably isn't the best video to ask the question, but do you ever have an issue with the foam sticking to the Kydex? Recently some stuck so bad I can't get it off. I've tried, soap and water, rubbing alcohol, lysol wipes, hopps solvent... Nothing it getting it off all the way. Any insight would be helpful. Thanks!!

[@FalTacUnlimitedLLC]

I have! I have come to the conclusion that if its too hot and combined with a ton of pressure it sticks. I think of it as the pores of the material clamping down on the foam. Try a max of 350⁰

[@jordanhandley2359]

@@FalTacUnlimitedLLC Well I'm glad I'm not alone. It's sure frustrating though. I usually heat to around 350 (I use the oven in the house), then have to run it out to the garage to put it in the foam press. I figured it would cool by the time I get it in the press. But I'll try to keep it at 350 or below. Thanks for the help!

[@FalTacUnlimitedLLC]

@@jordanhandley2359 no less than 350! Be best to get a dedicated oven for kydex. It releases gasses thats toxic and your food can absorb it

[@jordanhandley2359]

@@FalTacUnlimitedLLC well that's disgusting.... Looks like my next purchase is a large toaster oven.

[@FalTacUnlimitedLLC]

@@jordanhandley2359 good idea!

[@markgarland5730]

Awesome video...where do you get trim jigs?

[@FalTacUnlimitedLLC]

Generally from the same person you buy the vac form molds from

[@ronamedee2475]

I have 2 bandsaws and practically useless for Kydex. The wide blades snap or jump track when turned hard. Go back to your "good" old faithful scroll saw. I have worked wood with routers and shaper tables for years and scares the hell out of me to see any piece of material going away from blade just a jitter away from injury. Be safe

Can you give a link to the bit you used on the router
