Robster Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 hey guys i am getting ready to attach my chest and back plate with the elastic that goes over the shoulders, i was going to heat and bend the shoulders a bit, i checked out for small cracks and noticed a few since my suit is a bit older, should i cut plastic and reinforce the place with the cracks over the shoulders or do you think it will be ok if i cover the cracks with elastic since i am going to install the elastic there anyway? thank you, rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quartermaster Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Hey Rob. I would definitely reinforce the areas. Use some spare ABS underneath and attach it with ABS cement. That stuff actually melts the plastic slightly and fuses the 2 pieces together. I don't think its necessary to heat and bend the area, but if you do it, I would do it after the reinforcement. Elastic or canvas gets attached UNDER the armor...not over the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
