Which glue to use for batman cowl?

[bigtrev503]

Hey, all I have costuming ADD and I can't work on just one at a time. I've slowly been peicing together a comic style batman suit and I got this amazing cowl.

 

 

 

 

Problem is, it was designed for a slightly larger head than mine. When I put bubble wrap in the back of it it fits great as you can see, but I want to glue foam in it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I tried E6000 but it didn't stick. I want to get contact cement for my hand plates. Would it also work for this?

Also, I got this really fine mesh that I will be lightly spraying with white paint for the eyes.

 

 

 

How can I flatten it out? It got creased in the mail. Should I iron it? Also, whick glue would work to stick this in the eyeholes of the cowl? I don't wanna have to wear raccoon makeup every time.

Have you tried a "Thick film foam tape" ?  Normally available at an auto parts place.

Haven't tried that yet

You can try CA glue but you need to really scuff the surfaces up on the joining parts to ensure a good gripping area for the glue.

Is this what people use to pad out their TK armor?

 Nope.. Not sure what kind of foam is used for that.

For the mesh, it looks like what i used for my frown... which is a kind of veil material. Do not iron it, but try to flatten it under some books for a few days. You also can find it in black if you prefer. If you spray it, it is so fine you might lose some of the mesh altogether.

I have contact cement for my hand guards. Think that'll work?

Black flexible CA glue will do it. I'm pretty aire thay cowl is urethane and vey little sticks to that. Lwt me know if you need any more help.
