Snap cover

Hey there

 

Does anyone else worry having the snaps inside your armor eventually create bumps from repeated use?

I thought of the following process after seeing some snap posts

 

Take a piece of ABS and mark up a grid with a ruler:

Then mark a hex so you can find the middle of each square:

 

 

Then scratch up both sides for glue adhesion:

 

Next create a base to hold the marked up ABS:

 

Then using a spade big cut out the holes. I used another piece of wood to hold the ABS still.

 

Eventually you have all the circles cut out:

 

Take it back to your table and cut out the squares. I used score-n-snap but scissors are just as good:

 

Glue to the underside of your snap:

 

Most times I used 1 piece but sometimes I needed more. All in all they turned out well and now the snap has a cushion:

I heat up the plates so the snap is flush with the plate http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/20893-how-to-recess-press-studs/?hl=recess
