best kydex buffing video I have seen on youtube ever. Great job man keep up the classy work
Fantastic work on those edges. They look like new automotive paint finish. Excellent video.
Thanks for the tips. You have some great skills and craftsmanship.
Greg, thank you for your tips! Very much appreciated.
Thanks for posting. looks all I need to do is get a little blue for my last step.
I have a hard time with the sharp corners at the top of my holsters. Im good with the straight sides.
Man I always radius’d mine. I didn’t like the sharp corners anywhere on my holsters.
Great video!!! Greg where can I source the compounds you use? Thanks for taking your time to post such a good video!

Thanks so much for the tip on the 45 degree deal! Already ordered that flapper wheel and spindles from you. One question though. How do you stop crud from getting in between the two kydex pieces when you sand after riveting? *****
***** nice! Thx for the help
That 45° trick looks to be exactly what I have been missing!
I am going to apply that in my sanding steps too.
Anyone have a link to the blue polish compound and the last wheel he used?
wow, that's a huge help.... thanks
Thanks very much! Excellent video.
I can’t seem to find a buffing wheel like the last one you used anywhere. Any chance you have a link for a source where I can get one?
Let me see what I can find. Being in the jewelry business I get all my buffs and supplies from jeweler supply companies, and most don’t sell outside the trade. I also sold my holster business last summer so I no longer have control of the items for sale on the web store. But, let me see what I can do for you.
Greg Robbins thank I appreciate it. I’ve spent the last week looking everywhere local to me and countless hours on google but I can’t find anything as fluffy as that one. Didn’t realize it was going to be that tough finding a similar buffing wheel
excellent video thank you for the tips.
where can i find the loose stitched cotton wheel like the one you use
About complex edges, do you use the wheel and compound on those more complex edges?
Which brand is your bench polisher? Nice job on the edges!
Can I buff the edges prior to melting and shaping my piece? It will be easier for me in my scenario.
Greg Robbins what if you don't care about the shine and just want the finish that buffing gives i.e. the smoothness
Possible to mirror-buff kydex on the surface? I need about 1x2" areas only.
Really appreciate the shortcut!
what kind of pressure is your steam cleaner running? do i need a $400-$1000 90psi model or will a $100 50psi model work sir?
