yay! so i finally got some molded webs and my dreams are so close...
but i have some questions....
1) Is there any glue that you guys suggest to use? I was told to use Loctite Quicktite Superglue with easy brush, but i cant find this at a local retailer. Is there anything else you guys would suggest and is easy to find?
2) Do you guys think webs should be applied before or after the suit has been sewn together?
3) should the glue be applied continuously along the webs or in bits and pieces in like little dots?
Thanks so much!

A: BSI Adhesives www.bsiadhesives.com/Pages/hobby/hobby.html2) Do you guys think webs should be applied before or after the suit has been sewn together? A: Before- Its waaaayyy easier!! 3) should the glue be applied continuously along the webs or in bits and pieces in like little dots? A: Continously otherwise you will get 'gaps' and areas where the web lift from the suit... Thanks so much! |

if its glued continuously, will the webbing/latex still stretch ok?

if its glued continuously, will the webbing/latex still stretch ok? Thats a great question and if you think of the physics of it, the problem is... is one going to out-stretch the other. The goal (& far be an easy one) is to have equal amounts of stretch in both so thet fabric doesn't stress the web or risk breaking the glue bond. Make sense? |
