plaster cloth

[Master Chief 13]

has anyone ever used plaster cloth to make their armour? and did it work ( is it sturdy, wearable?) thanks







p.s i am new here

 

[GDan]

yes to all questions. it is a good method if you don't want to take the leap to fiberglass just yet

 

[link4044]

its too heavy and it might break

 

[Master Chief 13]

could you post pics of what it looked like (plaster cloth armour)

 

[Sean Bradley]

Yeah, although several people have gone this route, no one has posted any pics... Whats up with that?

no i havent, my uncle suggested it to me, but i already was planning to use fiberglass. seems like i could break easily :wowie: . did i mention that it is heavy. and if you are going to pep, waterproof the piece first or watch the plaster warp and destroy your piece

how should i strenghten it/water proof it? so i could use plaster. i was only going to use plaster cloth for the helmet and the back pack and maybe some of the arm pieces for the rest i was going to make from card board

scotch guard makes a water sealant
youre definitely gonna want to support it though USE THE BLUE AND RED CAN OF GREAT STUFF the rest of them kill your armor
