V8orBUST Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Hello guys. I am in the process of gathering all of the stuff to assemble my armor and was wondering what all adhesives and other consumables you used throughout your builds. Thanks Edit: specifically for abs to abs and abs to velcro etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4505Marcel Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 To be honest there isn't much in the way of abs to abs . Epoxy I used for the tank topper and T bits on the biceps. And E6000 ( goop) for the boots. E6000 would hold Velcro to abs, I just used the industrial self adhesive Velcro for my straps so I didn't use glue, mines still holding and it's maybe 6 years old Abs weld us good for abs, but wasn't used on my builds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chex Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Yeah there's not much gluing on this costume, other then what Marcel said, unless you want to reinforce things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin-X Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Agreed! I use E-6000 for most things and Gorilla Glue for anything "permanent". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8orBUST Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 Ok thanks, I'll look into this e6000 stuff. Already have gorilla glue so I got that going for me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01Hawk Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I used E6000 to glue all the helmet pieces ( SC kit) and for the tank and detenator trim. To do the straps I got the industrial strength Velcro for the armor side. Stuff is on pretty tight. Rest got sewn on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8orBUST Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 I assume 3M for the velcro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4505Marcel Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I used the Velcro brand industrial stuff, it has a much tougher Graf, and the adhesive backing is super strong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dart Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I used some 3M indoor/outdoor double-sided foam tape to put my KS helmet together. Sticks like crazy but much easier to work with than glue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
