im going to be making a few kydex rigs soon, and im low on funds for tools, so i need to do parts of it pretty ghetto... i'll be cutting it with a hacksaw, and sanding it the sand canvas rolls from harbour freight....
the one thing i wish i had that i dont, is a heat gun.... soooooooooooooooo.....
i was thinkin, if i could project some steem on it from a boiling pot of water, or boil select parts, i could help loosen form peices without killing the entire form....
so what happens when you boil kydex?
or, probably more appropriate, what can i do to heat up just parts of it? example, in the upper portion of the rig, near the spine of the knife, i want to curve the kydex out to make a place to put your thumb to help witdrawing the knife...
im having the hardest time coming up with a way to attach a belt loop to an edge only sheath...
