    Made a knife sheath and an axe cover Andy still have an entire sheet left. Works great!

    I purchased this to mold a tuckable belt clip for my kydex holsters and I have not been disappointed yet. It appears to be very durable but it was still easy to manipulate after being heated with a heat gun. I would have liked to have purchased a size thicker for a belt clip, but this would be great for making an actual holster out of.

    I made sheaths for a couple of good chef/filllet knives so I can store them in a drawer with other utensils. The material was easy to work with and made nice sheaths.

    Good stuff

    It was thick enough to be sturdy and strong but still very easy to cut. Perfect for DIY and cosplay projects

    Works just like Kydex oh wait it is Kydex

    Rough and satin on one side, not as rough and a little glossier on the back. Score it a few times and break it off. Very sturdy for the thickness. Worked perfect for the project I bought it for.

    No complaints but it think the price is a bit steep, $5 for a piece of plastic seems a little ridiculous

KYDEX
KYDEX sheet has excellent forming properties, which results in uniform wall thicknesses and crisp detail. KYDEX sheet forms to deep draws with low forces when heated to the upper end of the forming temperature range. Unlike many other thermoforming sheets, KYDEX sheet has unusually high resistance to hot tearing.

Forming Guidelines
- Oven temperatures should be set differently than the settings used for ABS or FR-ABS.

- Typical heater settings (percentage timers) are 30% – 50% top heaters and 50% - 70% bottom heaters.
- The most frequent problem is trying to heat the sheet too quickly, particularly on the primary surface.
- Cycle times will vary depending on the oven conditions and grade of KYDEX sheet being formed.
- When forming KYDEX sheet, it is better to rely on the sheet appearance during heating than on fixed cycle times.
- Forming temperatures – Guidelines: (Sheet should not exceed 204°C (400°F).

165 - 177°C (330 - 350°F) for < 1.50mm (0.060").
182 - 196°C (360 - 385°F) for 1.50mm to 3.20mm (0.060" to 0.125").
196 - 204°C (385 - 400°F) for > 3.20mm (0.125")

- Ideally the core sheet temperature should be within 10°F of the surface temperature.

Sheet Appearance During Heating
As KYDEX sheet is heated, the inherent stresses in the sheet will relax.

Stage I: The heating is marked by wide undulations and softening.

Stage II: The material will start to form small ripples (known as oil canning). .

Stage III: The material will start to smooth out and sag (KYDEX sheet will generally sag less than other thermoplastics due to its high melt strength. .

Stage IV: The ripples will have smoothed out indicating that most stresses have been removed. 10 to 30 seconds afterwards the sheet is ready to form.
