Oh! Oh!
 

Hi Guys,

Need your help on something. I store my holsters in airtight Zip-Loc Bags. I have noticed some little white spots on some of them. What is it, and what do I do?

Thanks,

TC

The airtight ziplock bags don't breathe Tim. That will cause mildew or mold... you can count this as a bad thing. Store your holsters in a cool climate controlled place or if you must seal them up, use a dessicant package. Store them with bubble wrap inside and also some folded inside the belt loops to keep them from going flat from the weight of the holster.

Re-read the Leather preservation article in the General Info Link.

Hi,

Actually - if the airtight bag had dessicant in it - wouldn't that prevent mold from growing? For us in humid or changing climates (NE would be one, as the weather goes from "hot"/"cold" - and lately seems to be pegged at "cold" :) ), I'm wondering how best to preserve the leather from molding as well??

Now - I'm not a leather guy - and only occassionly have a wierd holster - but I'd like to know as well.... (Yes - I read the Leather preservation link <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> )

Jerry? Others? Comments?? Thoughts??? I know once mold appears, Jerry has "baked" his holsters ("Hi Honey - what's for dinner? Smells good <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> ), but before the point of baking, any suggestions?
