Sandbucket Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Finished up the construction of the armor this evening , but have a problem. The left thigh piece went into a flat oval. and I can not get it round. I have heated shaped over and over and it just will not round out . I can live with it but it just bugs me . And too I scared myself when the inside lip curled up form the heat, Dodged a blaster bolt there. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD-4242 Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Put it on. See what it looks like. That is the front of the thigh right? I bet it will look fine once it is on. be carefull with the heat you can f*** it up pretty easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abntroop Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 yep, if you're using a heat gun, keep your distance, and don't stay in one area too long. really baby it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motman241 Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 If that seam is glued, you'll probably have to heat the plastic about 2 inces on either side of the seam, and bend it to a round shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SethB6025 Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 Hmm... WTF?!?!? Not sure what to do about that, but the subject line "thigh problems", that made me laugh a little, like the post might read "Does this armor make me look fat?" But instead, an unfunny dilemma. When did it happen? Did the adhesive "melt" it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
