Howdy,

My brother has a couple Kydex holsters he wants to wrap with camo fabric. Which spray adhesive is preferred?

Cheers!

3m adhesives sheet. Don't use coated Waterproof fabric. If you do you must wirebrush coating to give the sheet something to stick to. The best option is to buy the camo sheets. A hot knife is required for trimming the coardura nylon sheet.

Noted, and thanks.

This is only to deaden any hard object- door, tree branch- scraping against it.

I've heard good things about these cordura sheets but I've never used them personally.

I'll keep those in mind, but he used a non-adhesive backed piece of Cordura and it came out great.

I'm thinking about doing a couple of mine.

In that case use 3M super 90 spray but make sure it's exactly where you want it placed because you probably won't be able to remove it once it's on.

I'll probably use the stuff linked to up above with the pre-applied adhesive.

They make pre-backed sheets. I've done 3 safariland ALS holsters that were beat up police trade-ins with them (from amazon) and it works fine.

@lew I ordered sheets of sticky cordura from Ranger wrap to cover assorted stuff.  Pretty easy that way.

@bdover

Thanks for the tip. If I do it, I'll go with that stuff.

Link to hot knife for to cut with please gentlemen?!

I had no idea this was a thing. I have Safariland holsters that I regret not buying wrapped. This would be sort of crafty and fun for my wife.

I’ve used generic spray glue & cordura fabric off Amazon.

The key is to use the right amount of glue otherwise it will go through the fabric and leave stain spots.. not a big deal on camo fabric, only an issue with solid colors. Holster will get dirty anyway so…

Another trick to make the fabric stick better is putting the wrapped holster in a food vacuum bag overnight.. not immediately but only when the glue is half way to being dry.

An xacto knife will take care of the extra fabric on edges
