Spada Rossa[TK] Posted October 5, 2019 Report Posted October 5, 2019 Can anybody offer any advice on how to repair the butt plate? ROTJ design so it’s attached to the kidney plate. Costly to replace. Mfr: TM 2mm acrylic -capped ABS Thanks in advance. Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted October 5, 2019 Report Posted October 5, 2019 Because of the curve I would rough up the inside area with coarse sandpaper then apply resin and fibreglass matting, it will conform to the shape better than adding strips of ABS and glue behind. You could then fill the outside cracks with abs paste https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/42866-how-to-make-abs-paste/ 1 Quote
Spada Rossa[TK] Posted October 6, 2019 Author Report Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) Just checked out the fiberglass matting video, thx. Curious how he was able to pull it off that bucket once dry though. Will this adhere to the inside of our armor if I rough it up w sandpaper as you suggested? Thx, I appreciate the input!

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted October 6, 2019 Report Posted October 6, 2019 No that's why you rough up the surface so it sticks to it, lots of other videos out there that was just one that came up in the search. 1 Quote
