Hey, Doc...are you still thinking about doing a little write-up on the filler pieces for the back of the leg? I would LOVE to have those pieces for my suit.

Me too!

I also found it at Harbor Freight Tools... it was a little cheaper there too. Every once and a while they put out a 20% off coupon as well but I think it is only for one item not the whole purchase but every little bit helps.

Struck out at my local harbor freight, they only had the Plastidip brand LET... I'll try Home Depot this week.

How many cans of LET do you think would be needed for a whole suit?

This is an extreme test of flexibility. I wont try this on anyones stuff. I put wrong shade and didnt notice till I was done So going to redo it..hey I'm not perfect lol so wanted to show if done right it will have this flexibility this has been almost 48 hrs after paintin it and you'll see that it will return back to original form.

Do not try this test on your armor if you want to test it try it on garbage piece. I created this method to find a way to have a more protected piece that can withstand natural movement. I am not responsible if you decide to put suit on and throw yourself down a hill in it, wrestling in it, running cross country in it, drive to work in it, sleeping in it , taking shower in it or gettin freaky in it and end up getting creases or cracks lol

Re: Doc's foam work + extreme paint job flexibility test vid

Great stuff as usual Doc but please test the inward flex.
That's something that's hard to avoid with painting foam.

Thanks murdoch, Yup paint over foam. Rubbing no problem. Yea thats my new method with Garden benders Liquid electrical tape. I put step on one of previous pages. I just wanted somthin easy and effective and less time consuming. But after finished do not handle atleast for 24hrs

Re: Doc's foam work + extreme paint job flexibility test vid

Hey Doc. Most folks say they dilute the first couple of coats of glue. Did you thin the Modge Podge too when you coated your foam?
