I friendly yard dog saw one of my projects and gave me some good advice about painting Kydex (Thanks Myke).

He inspired me to do a little more research and I came across the big enchilada of Kydex info on none other than Kydex.com. If you ever want to experiment, it might be a good idea to mark this page.

You never know when you are going to need to know what the effects of Cobalt-60 gamma radiation at energies of 1.173 MeV to 1.331 MeV will have on the color of your sheath.

Don't worry, there is actually some useful stuff here too.

Thanks JJ,I don't know why I never thought to go there.
There is a lot of good info.
I've been toying with the idea of layering some kydex like David Brown & now I know what glues will work.

It's better to have it & not need it, than to need it & not have it.

Sometimes the best hiding place is in plain sight.

Awesome. One of these days I want to make my own kydex sheath, too. These are some nice videos on this subject and seem easy to follow.
