A quick fix
« on: June 07, 2013, 11:40:56 AM »
I've been using the Crossbreed holster for some time now. It finally  cracked in 2 places. I know they offer a lifetime guarantee, but with shipping & time involved I sought another fix. I've used this product for many years now to repair or replace teeth in plastic gears & just about anything plastic. http://www.instaplastik.com/ The holster is actually stronger than new now. Great product & figured I'd share.  This stuff really powerful & if you get it on your fingers it's permanent in seconds so be careful. Yrs ago it could only be purchased commercially. Keep it refrigerated.

Knotacare, you are referring to the kydex part of the holster cracking, correct?
How much time do you have to work with the stuff? Video makes it seem like as soon as you add the powder, it's hard as stone.

Give me a genuine leather holster anyday. Kydex is a code name for recycled soda bottles. HE HE!

Yes the kydex was cracked on both sides. You can use this glue both ways .Apply the power & then apply a drop of glue or the other way around by sprinkling the power on the glue. You are correct it is hard immediately & dry in a few seconds. You can actually build up the plastic & sand or file to suit. The holster is actually stronger now than when new.
