My Mark Vi Armor Second Go Around New Pics Added 7/15

[Dreads]

Hi all,

Well after Chicago being cold for 3 months i was able to start to reinforce my Pep armor today. So i once mentioned using fleece material instead of fiber glass to reinforce my armor and today i did it. Here are some pics of How i did it and i will Include the steps also i will be doing this for all of the armor and i am going to do multiple layers on the but piece to make sure i will not break when i sit.

1. Assemble your pep
2 resin the inside and outside of your armor.
3. Trace the a pattern on the fleece of the piece you are going to cover

or cut out piece to piece the fleece together on a more complicated piece

4. Using glue you choice here i am trying a new spry on glue first to attach and stretch the fleece on to yr piece of armor


5. you will pull it over the edge then trim it


6. then mix up your resin and resin the fleece soaking it like you would fiber glass


7. The let sit and harden in the sun or over night like i am. Them in a few hours you have yr Reinforce armor
that pic i wil post tomorrow after i see how it looks in the morning

Also i got this idea form the tv show, "Trick my truck" and "Pimp my ride" It is by no means an original idea by me

[crackhead09]

yeah this is pretty much how you do fiberglass enclosures for your stereo system my question is, is it better than fiberglass cloth/matt?

[Zenzeigan]

nice, probabily a lot more comfortable too

With padding, both are comfy.


How much is the blue thingy?

okay here are pictures after 7 hours of drying time





By the way It is as sold as my fiberglass pieces i have

Also i used this for a couple of reason 1. Fiberglass matte or screen is about 5 dollars for a square yard (36 x 36) , while fleece is 3.00 a yard at walmart for 36 x 60 3 yards of it at walmart is more than enough and cheaper than 2 yards of the matte. 2. U can use a color if u want. I just used what was on sale. 3. Comfort no stray fiber glass piece to trim or poke you. 4. I just wanted to try something new.

I will be working on the arm pieces tonight and will post more pics as i work along so you all can see the progress and at the end i will tell you out of the 3 yards of fleece i bough how much i used, i actually think i bough to much and could have just bought 3 yards. We will see at the end.

Muslin cloth works 99% the same as fiberglass and can be bought for 3-4 dollars a yard at any fabric store.
