Costuming:C6 armor build-day3

Day 3 Moving onto the remaining items that need to go seamless we will begin to work with the thighs, forearms and biceps. Same as the calves we will try to cut or sand a straight line on one of the two halves. Once one of the two seams are looking good, tape it up and start on the second side. Use a pencil if need to help with this process. The photos below show a set of unassembled pieces and a set of finished versions.

Here is a closer look at the biceps. The back of the biceps are always a little thought to get to line up. Don't worry, this can be fixed when we add the epoxy and fiberglass tape.

OK, now we have all the seams cut it time to start adding the insta-cure (super glue), epoxy and fiberglass tape. Use masking or painters tape to tape all the part together. Add super glue to the inside seam.

Use the insta-set spray to help set the insta-cure.

After dried, add the epoxy and fiberglass tape to the inside seam. Then add another coating of epoxy to the top of the fiberglass tape. Remove the masking or painters tape from the outside and fill in any gaps with epoxy. Wait about a day and then sand the outside seams. Once seam is sanded add Bondo to outside seam and try to cleanup and low spots or remaining blemishes. Sand and cleanup as needed. I use a Mouse Sander for this step.

On to day 4
