Sonnenschein Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 Look what I did today! http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/5696/p1000525g.jpg These are latex FREE yet flexible hand guards. It still has some flaws, but they will be corrected with the next one. There are many advantages: * for people who dont like/ are allergic to latex *no need to paint - they are already a glossy white- No flaking of paint! * more durable than latex# *the same flex, thus screen accurate LOOK * you can attach it to non-rubber gloves like nomex. What do you think? K. Quote

runewolf Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 That is exactly what I am looking for! I am not allegic, but my wife is and I have found many kids in the area including my dear niece that is. I could not face my brother if I was responsible for her having a reaction! Quote
troopermaster Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 Awesome!!! Can I ask what they are made of (just curious)? Plasti dip? Quote
Sonnenschein Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Posted August 27, 2009 Plasti dip? Mostly silicone... and some secret ingredients K. Quote
pandatrooper[TK] Posted September 7, 2009 Report Posted September 7, 2009 They look really good. Sorry for the noob question - did I read somewhere that for 501st, hand guards have to be soft / flexible, you can't use hard ones anymore? Or is that for special uses only? Quote
TK-8224[501st] Posted September 7, 2009 Report Posted September 7, 2009 They look really good. Sorry for the noob question - did I read somewhere that for 501st, hand guards have to be soft / flexible, you can't use hard ones anymore? Or is that for special uses only? You can get EIB status with hard plastic hand guards, no problem. But these are beautiful! Quote
pandatrooper[TK] Posted September 7, 2009 Report Posted September 7, 2009 Cool, thanks for replying! Quote
Sonnenschein Posted September 11, 2009 Author Report Posted September 11, 2009 I'm so busy making those hand guards, I totally forget about this thread.... Thank you for all these kind words. Glad you like them K. Quote
