SC Strap sizes not fitting holes?

[Qebenner]

Hey, sorry for continuous topic starting, I've been working on my hard pieces today, focusing on the forearms to start, and I've run into an issue with the strap sizes versus the holes pre-cut by SC.

 

In the picture you can see that the strap we are supposed to use as per the instructions provided by SC, is 1-1/2 inch and the slit for it to go through is only 1 inch. SC provided 1 inch size elastic, but it's nowhere near enough to cover forearms, knees, and everything else the 1 inch size elastic would be used for.

 

How did you guys get around this or through this? Do I need to go buy more 1 inch elastic? Not sure what to do here, so help and advice would be greatly appreciated

SC does such a nice job prepping their kits it's tough to remember sometimes that it's technically "rough trimmed". Go ahead and elongate those slots to the width that will accommodate the corresponding strap.

Which piece is that in your picture? Forearm?

 

The only place you should have 1.5" elastic is the bicep

I thought about doing that but I've run into the issue where if I cut the slot any larger it'll start deforming the molding. The molding is grooved to accommodate a 1 inch sized piece of elastic. I was thinking about buying more 1 inch black elastic, from where idk, or maybe sewing a 1/2 inch piece of 1 inch to the 1 1/2 piece of elastic to make it work as it should.

We have 6 ft of 1.5 inch for some reason, and we only have 3 feet worth of the 1 inch, I thought it was weird seeing as more pieces of the hard stuff needed 1 inch. But yeah that was the forearm.
