The first vacuum forming I did was trying to get a better fit of a leather holster I was making for a handgun. It worked well. Too well. Way too f###ing well. Had to cut apart the leather to get the handgun out. :D After that, I formed the leather by hand, as I used to do. :)

This one required some leverage to remove!

Not a bad idea!
Just need to make a removal lanyard so its not so hard to remove.
