making kydex sheaths?

[Fallbrook Forge]

I have a question for anyone who makes kydex rigs, how hot do you heat the kydex? I don't have a heat gun and am going to try a toaster oven

thanks, and Merry Christmas!

Till it's floppy. Like wet leather. Just be careful you don't over heat or the rack will leave lines. The toaster oven is the way to go. A heat gun is only useful for small pieces where you need to put heat on an exact spot. Big pieces go in the kitchen oven. :thumbup:

I picked up a heat gun from Grizzly. It works great for small stuff and adjustments. Your pocket book won't suffer either, they are ~$15.

in a normal kitchen oven 175 degrees celsius.(hot air oven)

nothing will happen to the kydex (except gettig flexible)
