Any complications with gluing the belt?

[UT Trooper]

I just received my SC armor in the mail and was wondering if anyone has had any issues trooping with their three piece belt glued together? I feel like rivets would be more durable and I would have less to worry about (I'm not going for Lancer). The last thing I want at an event is my belt coming apart..

Try gorilla glue. Rivets might rip, but gurilla glue is like cement x.X I have rivets coming out of armor parts but never had any parts come apart which I glued with this stuff

I agree with Mizuno...Gorilla Glue for the win!

You guys prefer gorilla glue over e6000?

[Mizuno]

e6000 is also fine, but takes longer to cure. I use both and have no problem with either of'em

This is how you glue an SC belt with E6000 and never have it fall apart.

Thanks, I was planning on using that method.

However, if it's hot or humid, E6000 will not be your friend. We have temps up to 104 in the shade here in Texas. E6000 is awesome for most things. I just don't use it for anything permanent.

I tried Panda's method tonight and just about ruined my center belt piece. Even the side piece is so warped now that it won't get a clean level bond with the center piece. I will likely have to replace both pieces. I'm so furious right now. 😤

Getting new belt pieces shipped out next week. Jeff is the bomb. Definitely not doing Panda's method again as I have a heavy hand with the heat gun. I will try sanding + gluing and if that doesn't feel strong enough then I will add some white rivets.

Terry's method is awesome and worth the effort. I learned early on about heat guns, and my lack of ability with them! So, don't feel too bad. We all experience warping!

Yeah the heat gun is not for everyone. I was able to glue my SC belt together just fine without it. Using E6000. Then again, we don't have a humidity issue here in the deserts of Southern California.
