I almost feel dirty asking this, but what is the "palm method"?

but it shines, looks great, shows reflections, and at the cost of chroming, it works for me.

I use a small amount and after I spread it on the piece, I rub it vigorously with my bare palm until it gets hot. this gives the high gloss and prevents it from rubbing off later.
Now everyone feel free to make all the sophomoric jokes about rubbing vigorously.

And it still looks tons better than chrome paint.

you can paint over it but i wouldnt recommend it, its more of a wax than anything and paint will flake off of it. so id suggest just plain old fasion carefulness

When using the RnB, do you paint the colored ares you want first, then mask the painted sections and then apply the RnB so that it dosn't get on the painted sections?
Or will the RnB come easily off the painted sections if you get it on it?

I really wish I could see a video of the demonstration.

I personally do my colored areas first then tape and rub-n-buff. You can get it off with soap and water but I usually wind up getting more on the painted areas when trying to clean off what already got on there.

Hey guys and gals,
I've been doing the Jango costume for a little under
a year now. Was just told about the rub n buff,
so naturally I ran out and got some, applied it to
all the armor, but here's the thing.
I keep noticing that it is rubbing off on my ammo belt,
vest, and various other parts. It seems like I have it buffed
off, but just when I think I can do no more buffing I see
it has come off somewhere else.
Can someone tell me how to prevent this?

Hey thanks Seeker,
We met at Dragon Con, as a matter of fact you
were the one to tell me how to apply the
Rub N Buff. Thanks for the tip. My Jango
looks totally different now. 100% improvement.
As for cleaning my costume after every event...
I was afraid you were going to say that.

I know the last step when I painted my armor was to paint a coat of clearcoat spray paint. I'm going to try this.

Most clearcoats dull the rub n buff.
