kydex doesnt need to be very very hot to bend... I was making my own out of kydex... really strong plastic. its a 1/4 inch thick, and I used a plumbing torch. You only need to go back and forth a few times until it is warm enough to bend. And you dont really need gloves or anything, I could hold it with my hands and bend it. It is a little tough to bend, but you will get it sooner or later. as for finding some, go to ebay and type kydex

Its 3/16 :)

Whatever you do- dont stop moving the torch.. And it takes a while to heat if your trying not to burn it- if u could care less about how it looks its alot faster
