Can depend on the hand guard itself or the gloves, I've had to use different types of adhesive in the past, CA glue, Super glue, E6000 and even silicon, using a small test area is best. Hopefully they stay held, then can come off a little with movement of trooping. Your left hand glove looks a little lower than the right, that could be the image though.

I think I'm done with this unless something new comes out. I'm happy to work on the CRL and get something pushed through!

It took me all day, but I FINALLY got the kidney and butt issue solved!!! So happy that my butt plate isn't popping out now! Hours of patience, one pair of chemical gloves, four HUGE pots of boiling water, half a roll of blue tape, a few (okay, a lot of) swear words later, and here's the result (all taped together temporarily): Kidney/ab/butt, no belt. With the belt: From the back: I ended up trimming off some of the bottom of the butt plate during my initial investigation about why things weren't fitting. And it's a good thing I did because I would have needed to anyhow because of the thighs. I don't have the garter on, so I was positioning each thigh on my own so you could see how it all will come together: What a major PITA this was. But I'm thrilled that it's all looking better now. Tomorrow I will be doing repairs to the butt plate returns and the kidney returns- which is a stroll on Tatooine with a flamethrower compared to this challenge. As you bend and shape the pieces in the hot water, the returns get all warpy and they'll be ironed out with a heat gun. Before on left, after on right: Time for a beer (or three)...
