Arturo has yet to get me a set of his knee armor. Maybe I should get a set of yours. That is, if you're making them wider than your original ones were.

I made one that's about 3/8" wider than the original, for the huskier Fetts, but I havn't molded it yet.

Something just occured to me. Those knees look like the upside down F is on both sides. Did you put two lefts or rights in the pic or do you really have upside down F's on both sides?

The "F" is on both sides. The ledges for the knee darts get attached over the outside "F" on each knee, basicly covering it.

Hey judz, can fiberglass be further bent? I would like my boot armor to come closer to the boot to have the proper snug fit. Right now, its a bit wide. Any tips?

To adjust fiberglass pieces slightly, put them in a hot car on a sunny day for a couple hours, then put something inside to expand, or tape to reduce. Allow to sit in a cool area for a few hours, and remove the tape/fixture, and you should be good to go. Don't use a heat gun, torch, oven, or any other heat source that can damage the fiberglass. Hot water (not boiling) works well also. Don't try to alter the pieces too much though, because they could still stress crack.

Cool! Thanks, bud! I just need to narrow them a little to fit.

You could also put some rubber bands around them. After a few days under tension, they'll warp closed a bit.

Thank you. Looking forward to finishing it all. I predict first part of April.
