Starting To Make The Armour Questions

[michael taylor2211]

Hi guys,

I am just about to start to make a suit with a friend an i have a few questions before i start.

1- What is the best glue to use if you are using paper or card.
2- Are there any other ways to harden the suit that is not fibre glass as I just want to see what else there is.

Thanks

Go to the Pepakura and Cardboard Armor section and read the Ultimate Pepakura FAQ sticky.

2- Are there any other ways to harden the suit that is not fibre glass as I just want to see what else there is.

Search for "aqua resin" in the forums.

yea and look into superglue and truck liner spray too. some even reinforce with cardboard and glue.

You could also think about using AoBfrost's hot glue reinforcement method (also in the stickies in the pepakura and cardboard armor section) but for glueing peices together I would recommend either super glue or hot glue, it dries the fastest. Good luck!
