Never thought about that, maybe i'll throw it in the oven tonight and see. What kind of temp are we talking about? I'd still like to get some Kydex going for a couple of my knives so I'm definitely open to suggestions and sources. You guys know alot more about it than I do

Kydex is best formed between 300f and 380F, don't go over 400F cause it will burn

awesome Jrod. Were you thinking about doing any stamping in the leather? Initials or something like that? I took a leatherworking class in Middle school (gosh... 10 years ago? whiskey tango foxtrot) and really enjoyed it, I just never found the time afterwards to make it a hobby.

I might after I get a feel for working with leather, just started, but there is a Tandy leather just up the street from me, so who knows
