TUTORIAL: The Totally Offical "Hot glue Method" Method.

[Robogenisis]

Glad you put this into Tutorial form. It's a great method for the not-able-to-fiberglass people.

Sigma told me to search for someone who has used my method and has pictures, but I dont think anyone has took enough pictures to fit into the tutorial.

im not trying to be rude or anything, but why are you writing a tutorial for something you havent even tried... hot glue is very suseptible to heat... so i hope you dont go outside with your armor much or else you mught get warped.

[AoBfrost]

Small scale I have done, but not large scale, hot glue will stay solid until around 80 degrees F, true that is a downside, but it has it's advantages over fiberglass also.

Also, 4-5 people have used this with success so far.

Edited for grammar and readability.

Stickied. Congrats Frost!

[AoBfrost]

Alright! Thanks Sean!

I LOVE IT, so much easier than fiberglassing and resining,,, i might start my H1 marine armor project up and use this instead of the resin... thanks man [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/awesome.gif[/img]

isnt 1/2 an inch a little thick?

[AoBfrost]

Depending on what area you are covering, 1/2 an inch is needed, such as the chest, the large area of the chest must be covered, yet pieces like the arms and such can be covered with 1/4th of an inch or less depending on how strong/thick you want.
