I have been experimenting with one sheet on small items..
These are Comtech Stingers they are simple personal defence impact tools. Intended to attach to your key chain through that eye on it. Or, if in gentler company they are Accupressure tools designed to apply pressure where it will do the most good
We find them inconvenient on the keychain and if you need it while driving (carjacking or whatever) its locked to the keys in the ignition. Plus if you got in a scuffle and lost the tool your escape vehicle keys are lost, too.
I saw this type "sheath" for them online for $30 plus S&H.
Perfect test of my system.
Neither are pretty. Both work. The bottom one was my first Kydex attempt ever. It got away from me as I tried to handle it with no gloves and a large hemostats which left me with it laid on crooked. Some trimming and it worked but is an odd shape.
The top one is laid on better but too small on the piece I used. I preheated the stinger by leaving it on top of the toaster oven I heated the Kydex with. I used a slow heating process starting at 200F and stepping up the heat as the plastic reacted to the heat. It got a bit too hot I think because it kind of stuck bad to the foam in the book style press. It is functionally better but visually not so nice. It has the tightest fit and best detail inside the sheath
I should be good to go when the IR thermometer gets here next week so I can get precise with temperature which can be critical in the process.
I can see how this stuff can make all manner of tool holders that I don't see available.
Just a share.
