I just tried securing a visor using ultra-sticky aluminum tape... From what I can see, it's great: secure, yet removeable incase of damage. Has anyone else tried this, and if so, is it a viable method for long-time use?
Discussion on Perhaps a new fastening method... within the Boba Fett Helmet forum, part of the Star Wars Original Trilogy Bounty Hunters category; I just tried securing a visor using ultra-sticky aluminum tape...

hmm... i think its a great idea! Aluminium tape? is it like duct tape? post some pics! haha...
i jave not yet glued my visor on, and am sure open to better ideas! and its more replaceable and yet not so cumbersome like screwing it in...
Here's a pic for you. It's not like duct tape, it's increidbly sticky thin aluminum sheeting, used for plumbing. You can pick it up cheap at hardware stores, so it could be worth a try...

Heck... Just Bondo it! It's the cure all!!! Just kidding!
Original idea, I haven't tried it... maybe on my next bucket???? Hmmm..
Hey, it's worth a shot.
hymm..its those kind to hold plumbing works together and supposedly prevent leaks as well huh?
if it could prevent pressure leaks, i hell sure think it will hold the visor...i will give it a try!
erm..question...if its sticky as hell, wun it leave "sticky tracks" if i remove 'em???
i just tried the aluminum tape method and I'm exetremely please with it. Thanks for the advice and discovery. peace -Delofett
