Chopper Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 The divot on the chest is a known stress point. Get some sheet abs and trim it to cover the crack from the inside of the armor. That's your splint. Use a heat gun if you need it to form the abs splint as needed to fit where the crack is. Glue the abs splint to the inside of the armor using devcon plastic weld. Some people will tell you to make abs paste to fill the crack. And that will work, but without a splint it will just crack again. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
