Holstex Carbon Fiber Thermoform Sheet + Handsetter Combo Kit Bundle for DIY Holster Making

The HOLSTEX Carbon Fiber Textured Sheets are the most advanced material available for holster and sheath making use. This texture variant, referred to as "Carbon Fiber," features a 3D textured surface. HOLSTEX is the world's only thermoform sheet material that offers a dual-side texture finish as a standard option, ensuring ultimate formability as the texture is uniformly visible from any angle in the final formed object. No other material offers this standard feature, effectively doubling the application potential of the material.

The #8 Eyelet Setting Tool, which includes both a base and a ram, is designed to create a "rolled" finish on 1/4 inch eyelets. To use, simply align the pre-rolled portion of the eyelet in the base cup and apply gentle tapping pressure with a hammer. This economy flaring tool allows you to keep your project cost low and your need for bench space at a minimum, while producing excellent eyelet flaring results with minimal practice.

The #8-9 Eyelets (100 Pack) are the industry standard 1/4 inch diameter flaring eyelet/rivet used in making thermoform sheaths and gun holsters. These professional grade eyelets are designed to roll over perfectly with the included Rivet Flaring Die System.

The Bundle includes (1) HOLSTEX Thermoform Sheet in Carbon Fiber Texture and Olive Drab color, with a thickness of 0.080 inches and dimensions of 8 inches by 12 inches, as well as (1) #8 Handsetter and (100) #8-9 Black Eyelets.

For DIY thermoforming, the Holstex Carbon Fiber Textured Sheet is very similar to both Kydex and Boltaron in the way it forms when heated and molded around an object. Once cooled, this material will retain the shape of the item used to mold it, and in its cooled state, it is very durable and lightweight. It is widely used in thermoform holster making, cosplay costume creation, removable surface coverings, keel guard protectors, and much more.

The carbon fiber texture applied to the surface of the Holstex sheet is referred to as the 3K Twill pattern, which is a common reference to the size and shape of the texture found on many carbon fiber items. The 3K Twill is the most common carbon fiber weave size, and the texture on the Holstex sheet is 3 dimensional, providing wonderful contrasts and lighting reflections for a striking effect on finished items.

The CKK Eyelet Hand Setter and Base are designed to help you bind two or more pieces of KYDEX, Leather, Canvas, or virtually any material using standard binding eyelets. With a couple of simple taps with a hammer on the flaring ram, you can easily set these #8 eyelets with a blemish-free rolled finish.
