Hey there 405th,
I'm a long time reader and have been wanting to make some MC armour for ages, I just finished my first helmet pepakura, using a regular paper glue stick to glue it.
It is now the hottest and most humid summer I have ever experienced, and the humidity is making the glue come apart and the paper warp slightly. it isnt all the tabs but its enough that the helmet cant support its own weight. ive got it supported using blocks and tape, but it still looks kind of distorted and some of the tabs are inconveniently located for me to re glue.
My question for you is whether you think it's best to scrap it and start again, when the weather stops being mental, possibly using a different method of glueing(suggestions?) or to keep it supported like this and attempt to stick it all back when I can?
Cheers to any who answer.
