Heating & Forming Tips
- Use a heat gun or oven — do not exceed the recommended temperature range to avoid warping or shrinkage.
- Work quickly once the sheet reaches forming temperature — Kydex cools and sets fast.
- Use foam, clamps, or a dedicated Kydex press for cleanly molded results.
- Trim cooled Kydex with scissors, a utility knife, or rotary tool for a precise finish.
