Clint666[TK] Posted March 31, 2016 Report Posted March 31, 2016 Do i have to use the Black contact Cement AND the Elmers Rubber Cement or Instead of? Quote
TK4205 Posted March 31, 2016 Author Report Posted March 31, 2016 Yes, use the bottle of black rubber cement that is included with the gaskets. 1 Quote
JimmyC Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 I'm just starting my Imperial Gaskets, this video helps a lot, but after they are assembled, how is every one connecting them to the armor? Same as the ANOVOS (with the straps and velcro)? Quote
camprandall Posted July 21, 2016 Report Posted July 21, 2016 So since I needed to make new knee gaskets for my Flametrooper, I decided to document a bit how I like to assemble Imperial Gaskets. It's working well for me so maybe it will work for others. STEP 1: Cut gaskets down to fit around legs. I usually cut it to be a tad snug, but not too much. It keeps them from folding too much while staying comfortable. STEP 2: Use the cut off as a backing glue strip, gluing to one edge at a time. This gives really good contact and keeps the seam nice and tight. Just using a flat piece of latex doesn't do that as well because there are far less contact points. I use Elmer's rubber cement for this and it works great. STEP 3: Create velcro tabs to attach to undersuit. I do this because it just hasn't worked out well to attach the gaskets to the armor. It pulls in weird ways and requires a bigger circumference in the gasket to stay properly anchored to the armor. This way the armor moves freely over the gasket and mobility is much better. For the tabs, I used to sew the velcro but then I found that the industrial sticky velcro sticks super well to the latex so no sewing required. I just use scrap latex as the tab and rubber cement it to the inside of the gasket. STEP 4: Plasti-dip the gasket and we're done! I initially started plasti-dipping these gaskets as a result of wear over time but found that I love the uniform darker sheen it gives the whole thing so now I periodically spray all my gaskets. I've been pretty happy with it! 4 Quote
