Great build! I was wandering last night if hard waxing the board would help to make a better seal or perhaps a coat of poly urethane since the wax could get hot under the kydex. What is your thoughts on this?
I noticed that you don’t seem to have a lot of oil mist from your pump, I have the same pump and after it sucks down all the way I have a small cloud going on. Any suggestions? Am I doing something wrong?
Yeah, I think now that my design is where I want it, the vac former is going to be necessary for the consistency I want. Ty sirs.
Thanks for this series Tony, awsome information!!!!!
Kevin Carver anytime brother 👊👊
SURGE TANK? What are surge tanks for and what's the difference between with or without one?
Great diy build !

Where do you source your silicone membrane from? Thanks for the tips, great content

Hey Tony is that pump good enough to start with, and would love a video doing a dual calor holster with vacum thanks for all you do.

Von Bottorff urethane might work, the hot kydex isn’t in the press very long, pretty sure it would be fine.
Alameda Holsters That was my thought as well. If you use wood to make the press it would seal the pores on the wooden surface. Thanks.
Where did you put the air holes at on this?
Drill hole in the center
How much millimetres is the silicone membrane?
What kind of frame is that you use to make a seal?
80/20 frame, but any cheap picture frame will do the job, less money
can you recommend a good vacuum to use.thank you

@@alamedacustomholsters Thank you
Excellent info as usual. Surge tank? Chocolate is in the mail
My thoughts exactly on the surge tank. I'm wondering what the difference is or what the purpose is for adding one

dontdiewonderingjm what pump are you running?
Alameda Holsters I’m using the same harbor freight 2.5 vac pump
dontdiewonderingjm I get oil mist from both, you are not doing anything wrong, I need to either vent it outside or make a filter or buy a filter.
Alameda Holsters I’ve looked in to making one, just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something. Thanks man! Love the channel , great content!!

Buck cherry playing... Haven't heard that song in years.
Ty awsome video
Too bad we learn this a few hundred dollars later.. great job as always Tony. 👍
The ArmzMen I had to update it from my first vac video, plus this is cheaper.👊👊
