Let's face it: Bolts are ideal. They pull the armor tight, you don't have to worry about it coming undone, so long as the armor material and glue can take it. Therein lies my question...
I have 3mm Sintra armor, and I know (thru others) that snaps do a great job with it. Bobamaker's bolt tutorial is very similar to the popular snap method, but it brings the armor in tighter.
Does anyone know if 3mm Sintra can handle the stress of Bobamaker's bolt method? I'll probably be using JB Weld, as my armorsmith recommended it for his Sintra armor.
I'm sure that the more surface area the "glue" covers, the more force it'll take to rip the bolt off (or tear up the sintra).
My other question is: How MUCH closer do bolts pull the armor to the vest? Photos of armorsets would help here, preferribly those that have been heatmolded to the Mando's body. It doesn't say much about the attachment method if the armor is too flat (because its tension pulls away from the vest).
