Hi! I'm making my jacket from a Members Only one as well. I've been working my way through this epic thread picking up hints and tips and just wanted to ask you if you'd mind sharing what you used for the bellows on the arms? Thank you

From what I remember Jedifyfe used weather stripping for the bellows.

Do you happen to know what type of weather stripping? I search for just "weather stripping" and it brings up a whole host of different products that vary massively.

The stripping was mentioned in this thread here:http://www.therpf.com/f9/back-futur...-new-video-jacket-pg-27-a-159961/index26.html
Nothing specific on the type, but something like this is what I assume was used: http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Door-Trunk-Weatherstrip-Seal/dp/B00CFL8T0K
Hopefully Jedifyfe can chime in and let you know what he went with.

Cool! Thanks for replying. This is what I've ordered. Same stuff right?

Yes, the Draught Excluder looks the same.
Starting on my jacket soon. Have the Plaskolite diffuser sheet. Will scratch build the waist and cuffs since the office chair ribs are hard to find.
Has the correct rainbow lining been sourced? I know a couple builders have used it and it really makes the jacket. Obsessing over it.... :-D

You need to split these down the side to make two, but even then, you probably won't enough. I used a cutting wheel on a dremil to split both the parts I acquired. I then took a mold of the parts joined to make a single long part. .

Is this latex?
I used silicone with red pigment and layered mine with a black poly cotton. First layer was red which I used a screed to remove the excess material. After that cured, I poured a layer of black tinted silicone and laid the black cloth. I used a toothed roller (same type used for fiberglass) and pushed out the excess. What I got was a very strong material with black in the valleys.
When I do this again, I think I will only need the red layer with the cloth. So rather than screed the first layer, I would simply pour, lay on the cloth and roll it out. This will still give the black in the valleys and keep the strength, but also reduce weight. My vest portion is 2KG (4.4 pounds!) and it need only be half that.

Got my hands on two now. Hopefully that will be enough. I seem to remember someone mentioning using expanding foam somewhere to make them easier to attach?
