Thanks for your help. I ended up adding more layers of abs on the inside of the shoulders and adding filler. I painted it using my airbrush with the tiny amount of paint i had left over from my helmet. It looks 100% better now. I've seen a few colour codes and this one before.

Hi all, (Apologies if this is in the wrong place) Can anyone help me, please. Here's my dilemma. No matter what i do with abs slurry/paste. Either applying it slightly gloopy or in very thin layers I got bubbles. I also found the colour of the paste was a slightly darker white. I'm using 99.8% acetone. I thought I had it sussed, but after a few weeks, I've noticed the places I've used the abs slurry ( Yoke and abs) have sunken. Now when I've put the armour on and I've noticed hairline cracks In those areas. My time is running out as I would like to wear my armour for Celebration London. I'm thinking of reverting to plastic filler and painting over those affected areas. My problem is I don't want to paint the whole armour just those problem areas. There's a guy I know who's very good at matching colours. He mix up some paint so i could paint my helmet and the colour is a prefect match to the armour. He's away for two weeks! I know that the colour of abs white varies, but does anyone know a good colour match? I'm based in the UK.

Hi Daryl, do you have an excessive gap around your leg and the shin/calf armour? I'm not sure what the best way to tackle this is. Do you pack out the inside of the gasket with some foam or modify the armour?

Great work. you're a little ahead of me in the process. I found it hard getting the tiny air bubble out of the abs slurry. I finally used a 25mm artist paint brush to apply the slurry in thin layers like paint. still think how i'm going to attach the webbing to the amour.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated. I'm on the hunt for new acetone.

How do you stop the ABS paste from Changing colour/yellowing. I've noticed the ABS paste colour never matches. It either darkens or goes a little yellower. I use a glass airbrush bottle to store the paste and make sure I'm extra careful to keep it free from contaminants.

Thanks for the info. NoVATie i've updated my first post.
