This is great information. I am just getting into making holsters and it isn't cheap. I am having to do small purchases to build up. However, watching videos like yours and being able to make your own jigs is extremely helpful for us trying to get into the business. Thank you for the explanation of how to do do the jig.
I have literally purchased everything I need to do this a book press the neoprene foam that goes inside the book press kydex Chicago screws belt clips a heat press finishing washers
you have to adjust the time and temp with every heat press. mine is at 390 degrees at 165 seconds. you need teflon sheet between the heating element and the kydex. kydex bubbles when there is too much moisture in it, so preheat it(leave it in the press without closing the press) and then press it.
Ive got a question for you again, if you don't mind. So I'm creating my list for my shop tools. I like the router because it takes away having to sand. Do I need to use jigs to successfully trim kydex with a router? Or could I trim with just the kydex?
@@TheSSPodcast there's a bearing on the bit that rides on the jig. Otherwise holding just a piece of kydex on a blade turning at 17000 rpm is the most dangerous think you can do in this game
@@FalTacUnlimitedLLC that makes a lot of sense. I thank you for the updated information. I watched your video on how to make your own jigs, so later down the line that is something I will do. Because those jigs are expensive, but worth it in the long run.
The jig is in contact with a bearing on the router blade, while the sharp part of the blade is cutting the kydex? Sorry for being so slow. I really appreciate all the effort you put in the videos. I really wanted to make some holsters for my um, flashlights, and you have shown me how to accomplish this task.
@Dub456 that's exactly it. There is a bearing at the bottom of the bit that the jig rides on. And this is a flush bit so anything above the bearing is cut
FREE TRIM MOLD & TRIM JIG SET WOULD BE A GREAT GIVE AWAY IDEA

This channel should have way more subs. Turned me into a kydex freak with one video.
It grows almost 300 subs a month. I'll take it!
Youre just the Best for showing everyone how to do this
Thanks for all of your videos, Best pop's

Irmão que espetáculo assistir seus vídeos, é um show de sabedoria.
Right on!! 👍
Just a thought what about mixing your Kydex shavings in to the epoxy so you use less epoxy?
I do that, along with cut offs of the epoxy as well.
Have you ever made a custom mold that way as well?
Sure have!
Holster sensei I have a serious question I need your help with something What do you use on your heat press to keep it from burning the kydex
you have to adjust the time and temp with every heat press. mine is at 390 degrees at 165 seconds. you need teflon sheet between the heating element and the kydex. kydex bubbles when there is too much moisture in it, so preheat it(leave it in the press without closing the press) and then press it.
For anyone wondering, you can use rice to take volume metric measurement and then get the exact amount you need to use.

Good stuff!
Curious, did you ever film the revolver and flare pistol builds? They came out beautifully .
I think I filmed 1 revolver build but I have one coming up as well
@@FalTacUnlimitedLLC Scratch that, they were paintball pistols.
Ig, what's your lead time looking now for an order made on October 6?
I'm almost to July. But what's the order number. I'll work it in
Man thanks

Try it and let me know how it goes lmfao. You need jigs...
@@FalTacUnlimitedLLC Haha well on that note, I'll stick with sanding. Thanks for the update lol

Do you have a mold for g47/g17 with a inforce wild 2?
No wild 2 just yet
Why does the router not chew into the trim jig during trimming of the kydex?
It rides on a bearing

Lets go Brandon!
I agree
