Yeah I think it would. My wife is using it on her sintra shoulder plates and it works just fine. We haven’t tried it on a full set of sintra armor but this method is really secure.

Thanks for the feed back. I think you both are probably right. I’m thinking I’ll get a medium or dark gray and mist it on the squeegee and stirrer. And then distress the edge a little too after. In the meantime I used the New Way To Dye Girth Belts post and finished up my girth. I used nylon...

I don’t know if it will help or not but I had this same issue with some patched not taking dye. I started off ordering patches from military supply stores online and I picked up hook back patches not really knowing what I was getting. They have a Velcro like back as part of the patch. I ordered...

Thanks for all the positive comments. I appreciate the encouragement. Small update on the WIP. Finished up the rest of the shin tools. I’m working off of this image primarily for PP1 tools I wanted to match that 4th tool with the red button so to keep it consistent I painted up the rest of the...

So here is the pattern we used for the back of my gloves. Again these measurements are for my hand but it will give you an idea. This allowed for 1/4 inch seam allowance once the pads were sewn together. We added quilt-light batting between two layers of the tackle twill for the pads on the back...

Hey Pucksdown I don’t specifically have a pattern for you but I can tell you what I did for mine. I used white cotton gloves from Dents and dyed them. I’m working on a PP1 Boba so mine are a darker brown but just dye them the appointment color for your kit. And then I had help from my wife and...

I was able to track down the thread where I found the color corrected photo posted by RafalFett back in Jan of 2015. Really good description of how the correction was done on the photo Correct color for PrePro1 flight suit, I'm color blind please help. I don’t know if there has been research...

I’ve been working on a PP1 kit this summer and did inquire about PP1 gloves. I’m by no means an expert but I’ve been saving every photo I can find of the PP1. It seems to me they are brown closer to PP2 but I’m not sure they are exactly those same colors. I did find a couple of color corrected...

PM sent. Thanks
