Elephant Knight Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Hey all, How do people go about attaching hardhat headbands into their helmets? Anyone got any pictures of their helmets they would like to share? I got a helmet, I got a headband, but I have no idea what to do next.

Stroker Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 What helmet do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elephant Knight Posted April 12, 2020 Author Share Posted April 12, 2020 Couldn't say. 2nd hand helmet, that was mostly done except for the padding and stuff inside. I was told it was a 3D printed helmet, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elephant Knight Posted April 12, 2020 Author Share Posted April 12, 2020 I'm thinking some sort of glue is the way to go, but not sure what is the best option for that. Gorilla glue? EKnight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroker Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 My liner is held in place by rivets. I've seen troopers use glue. You could glue the top of the head band and maybe the sides. I wouldn't want to try and use rivets on a printed helmet. This is the only picture I have on my phone at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Do you have the 3M headband or did you cut one out of a hard hat liner? If you're going to glue it successfully, a lot is going to depend on how much contact there is between the inside of the helmet and the headband. Do you have any photos you can show us?

Elephant Knight Posted April 12, 2020 Author Share Posted April 12, 2020 The headband I have looks nothing like the one pictured above. I took it out of a hard hat that I found at Home Depot. after fiddling around with it a bit last night, I realized that the headband I have is complete garbage. I think I'll just buy one from the vendor selling them. It's a bit more pricey than the hard hat I got, but it should work. That picture will help a lot. I never even thought to rivet it, and looking at the helmet and your picture, I can see where the rivets can go. Thanks for the help!

Stroker Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Those cheap thin liners are a nightmare in a helmet. I'd go with one like I have or one that's super close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elephant Knight Posted April 12, 2020 Author Share Posted April 12, 2020 Yeah, It was beginning to become a nightmare trying to get it in. I should have paid a little more attention when I bought that helmet. I will definitely get one that's close to what you are using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
