Cruzer Jango holster run for August

Ok, I have updated and re-opened the run list to see if there are any other members who want holster assemblies before I move on to other projects. If so, let me know so I can make sure I purchase enough leather this upcoming weekend for those interested .:thumbsup:

Eco-Flo is the brand of stains I use, and they do have a black stain. However, keep in mind it will not be like a "painted" black that is solid, but more like a slightly diluted black because it is a stain and not a paint. They do make paints for leather applications but I have never used them. If you didn't want to go the stain route, I could always make you an unstained holster assembly and let you attempt the paints.:thumbsup:
 
I had some black stain a long time ago but not now.

The best I can do is give you some links to Tandy's pages with samples of their black stain, dye, and paint:

Gel stain

Stain and Finish

Acrylic Paint

If I had to choose, I'd probably use the Stain and Finish in order to maintain the natural appearance of leather, and any scratch weathering would probably look pretty cool.:thumbsup: The paint would be best if you wanted a painted looking surface, however, I don't know how resistant to cracking it would be on sufaces like the straps that see a lot of movement on my holster assemblies.

Hope that helps.
