I wet mold every damned thing I make. As do most. Again, maybe it's YOUR knowledge base that's lacking. Do you even know the distinction between wet molding and boning? You don't think these are wet molded? Oh I apologize, this isn't "professional" work. I reckon neither was the work of John Bianchi, Chuck Burrows, Will Ghormley or myriad other "professionals".
Force drying with heat = baking. Lighten up, I know exactly what the hell you're talking about. When I do it, either to expedite the process or to keep a rawhide holster/sheath from going sour, it's in a dehydrator right next to the jerky and set at 100°.
In his defense, that's exactly what it sounds like. Virtually all makers of modern concealment gear are taking shortcuts, such as using vacuum molds rather than hand boning. Which is also more akin to working with Kydex than leather. See, we probably know more about what you're talking about than you do.
