Question Duplicate threads or different issues? (answered)

[joeranger]

I am working on a Hurt locker bomb suit which I started a thread on, but I also started threads on

• What glue for foam armor?
• Cooling fans for hot costumes

I wasn't sure if I should start new threads since lots of different costumes use cooling fans and glue for foam. However, it is all for the same costume.

Any thoughts?

Don't second guess yourself. Thats a mod's job.

Re: Duplicate threads or different issues?

joe,

While the threads may reference the same costume, there may be some who aren't interested in a Hurt Locker costume thread that would be interested in a thread about coolling fans and glue for foam. While you could certainly go overboard, I don't think you will get dinged for creating new threads about those topics, even though they relate to a costume from an existing thread.

Re: Duplicate threads or different issues?

Thanks guys. Hurt Locker isn't very "costume friendly", so I was looking to getting more responses in separate threads. In fact, walking into a crowded convention hall in a bomb disposal suit might have some "issues".
However, it does meet my costume criteria.

1. Easy to drink a beer while wearing.
2. Easy to go to the bathroom. (at least to pee)
3. Lots of pockets for stuff.
