When you set the snaps you will want the CA glue as has been said, but I would highly suggest to get some accelarator too. It sets the glue instantly and allows you to put the snaps on very precisely.
You can get some at trooperbay, and he delivers very fast.
Looking good bro, when you are all done with this bad boy we will have to get a pic of you wearing it in the octagon!!!
Needs to be an All Star Wars version of that Video. "I'm Fett-sy and I know it!"Fett helmets, Cod Pieces, Boots & Gloves only!!
The "Haters" can be Trekkies!!!
wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, yeah!
LMAO- dont forget the high heels! I wont even wear a cod
One thing to remember with hot glue is that while trooping, the temp on the backside of the armor gets pretty warm. The troop that I did in December for the Snowball Express was in 40 degree temps outside and my armor was still damp from sweat when it was over. If you are trooping in higher heats like we get here in Texas, your body heat plus the heat of the day may be enough to weaken the glue.
I have seen several guys use hot glue on visors, and they fail at the most inopportune time.
Just a heads up on that.
Great insite Mullreel! Thanks bud
Since we have ran down the glue rabbit path..........here is the stuff I use, and recommend
2 Ounce Zap a Gap CA+ Glue | eBay
Zip Kicker Accelerant for Zap a Gap CA+ Glue | eBay
I have ordered from trooperbay several times and he is one of the few ebay sellers that I trust to order from, he is a 501st member and has fast service and delivery.
i personally like this glue Amazon.com: Maxi-Cure Extra Thick Glue, 1 oz.: Home Improvement
and this accelerant http://www.amazon.com/Bob-Smith-151-...7730931&sr=1-1
Those are great links for glue. Thanks!!!
Got the washers you send to me bro!
It's awesome!![]()
Great work so far. I've just started on my Jango build. Helmet should arrive within a week.
Thanks guys!...slowly but surely
Dynamic - That seems to be the builder's motto: "Slowly but Surely." Anyhow, I had to do a couple of "tweaks" on the Girth for you. I should be able to get it in the mail by this Friday or Saturday. Like the vest, it will be a passable placeholder until you get your hands on a leather one.
J-
Someone say leather girth?I know of this TDH member who makes them
