Hi there Spidey4fun,
I sent you an email, don't think you got it so i'm posting it here.
I am a new member of your Spidey Replica's forum and i was wondering if you could lend a helping hand as to the completion of my suit.

I recently purchased a red and royal blue nylon/lycra spandex Spiderman unitard from spandexman.com. It has an open face hood with feet and fingers attached, complete with 2 back zippers, on going up the spine and the other down the back of the hood.

However, it lacks webbing and the spider emblems on the front and back. I have purchased a Spiderman 2 replica mask from eBay, which is, as you know, more of a crimson red. It has the metallic webbing pattern. I can't paste pictures for some reason, so if you could give me your email I can show you what i mean.

I asked around and was introduced to your idea of printing the pattern onto a plain white lycra suit. Obviously my suit does not meet the specifications.

Do you know of a way to apply the webbing? Excuse my ignorance, but i'm still a bit in the dark as to how this works. Here's what the guy is selling, i'm not sure if i should buy or how to use it.

"Finally, the winning bidder will get urethane for molding your own webbing. This is the same type of urethane used to make the actual suit, RTV Urethane with a shore hardness of 30. This urethane makes excellent webbing and stretches with any movement. You will also recieve a silcone release spray to coat your mold with before pouring your urethane.
Urethane instructions are included to mix the part A and B together. No mold is included just the urethane and release spray."

is there an easier way to apply webbing? maybe to draw it on somehow?

Furthermore, is there a way to darken the colors of my current suit? perhaps some kind of dye?

I am interested in a black spider and a red spider for the front and back of my suit as well.

How much would one of your suits cost without the mask?

I look forward to your expertise; keep doing what you're doing, it's nice to see someone so dedicated to keeping cultural icons like Spiderman alive and well.

Thanks for your time.

OK...looks like you're buying Urethane. To actually use it you'll need a mold to pour the urethane into to give the webbing shape. Once you have your webbing most guys use superglue to stick it to the suit.

I cant help you with the dyes...as all my suits printed using a process called dye-sublimation. Basically a huge Iron on.

I'll send you an email.

;D
