Re: robo3687's Iron Man 2 Pep Files - neck seal!
My arms and legs are really skinny but long. I wish to add a small amount of bulk to them but not as much as the current arm and leg files are. Are these going to look disproportionate on me? Im pretty much the same height and build as iron man, are the standard sizes of these files going to look to big on me? I realise its late for me to be asking this but i intend on selling it anyway when its finished.

NO, you don't want to "puddle" polyurethane resin 'cause the resin heats up when it's drying, and when it get too hot the resin will just get brittle. and also possibly setting your Pep on fire (and this is true!!). Go find a fiberglass supply store, and look for a low viscosity resin, and a 30% MEK-P.

your mat is probably too thick. Get some surface veil or "firberglass tissue" and it should solve your problems.

or use some chopped strands instead of talc. They're usually $5 a pound.

Smooth Cast resins are NOT non-toxic before they cure, and release harmful vapors both before mixing and while curing. The entire Smooth Cast series (and polyurethane resins in general) contain isocyanates, which are horrific respiratory system irritants and aren't any good for your eyes and skin either.
I'm not sure who gave you this information, but it is completely and totally wrong. Exposure over time to isocyanates WILL cause you harm. Use the resins outside with plenty of ventilation and preferably a respirator.

Just because it doesn't smell like "harmful chemicals" doesn't mean it's not hurting you.

would work. My idea is similar. put the jaw on a drawer slider and fasten it closed with a magnet. so the chin part slides out enough to squeeze your head in.
Question for the sharkhead helmet people:
Im pepping the mk v version of his helmet. is it the same as the other one with a different faceplate?

Is it just me or does it appear as Robo has lost significant interest in working on these pep files?
Everytime I have checked back, it seems more people are ranting about uimpractical ideas for souping up their builds, and construction help.
There are only a few files left required to finish this suit, but the frequency of updates has definately decreased.
JMHO!

Stark1138: Robo stated a few pages back, that things have been hectic for him far as free time, what was ment to take him 2 days from his post wound up taking nearly a week, I doubt it has anything to do with ethusiasim, and more down to just flat out free time to spend with the 3d modeling program.
after all when he was dropping updates left n right he was also confined to his bed with a illness. I'm putting my money on the fact that the man does have a life after all.

you could've kept that opinion to yourself. Kinda inconsiderate from someone who's relying on someone work.

when i started out on this i was stuck in bed with a screwed up back and no other commitments and as such had a lot of free time to spend on doing this

I can understand you're frustration Stark1138 especially when you're enthusiastic about finishing the pep IM armor project and when there is a new post in this thread, turns out that it's not about the latest Robo pep file update. But I see that most of the discussions here are somewhat related to the pep files and relevant to the process it takes to finish it and how to go about assembling it later on.
As far as I'm concerned, this is Robo3687's thread and if he doesn't mind the "off topic" discussions then why should anyone else? Let's just forget about this and enjoy what this thread is all about shall we?
Robo, thanks for all your efforts with this project despite your condition and I hope that you feel better soon and take care of yourself first bro.
