Just wondering if bleaching RAF blue 37 webbing will make it a more khaki/beige colour, has anyone tried it ? Also would bleaching damage the webbing/stitching in any way. I have a couple of bits hanging around which aren`t much use as they are, Any feedback would be appreciated chaps.
No,it will go white just like khaki webbing would. The khaki isn't a natural colour of the fibre, it is dyed in the manufacture as is the blue-grey.
It is hard to get a good colour change using proper KG3 Blanco block but if you use Warren's repro or make your own Tarrago shoe cream version then these will coat over blue-grey webbing perfectly.
No need to bleach it at all - scrub clean, dry off then apply repro blanco.
Much more Blanco nonsense here!

Cheers CW, very helpful advice.
Nice I had wondered about that.
As I am after a 38 holster and RAF are cheaper.

I have just blancoed an RAF holster and belt using Warrens blanco and you can't tell the differnce between it and the khaki items.
Here you go. The RAF holster is converted to KG3 the 'shoe cream' way (underneath is No 97 on a khaki pouch and RAF blue-grey on a blue-grey pouch).
fecking amazing that is an RAF holster.
