I think you nailed it, the paint may have not been fully cured, or at it didn't have the correct amount of hardener in it. Most likely it will have to be buffed out, or in the worst case sanded and repainted. I personally wouldn't use cheese cloth or anything with a harsh texture to it. More importantly ensure the paint is fully cured by performing a fingernail test (find an unseen area and see if you can press your fingernail into the paint). Fully cured paint should be difficult to press your nail into. Lastly, store your armor in a cool environment after fully curing. Also, when stowed don't allow high points from other sections to rest on long flat areas like the Chest and back plates. These areas are the most commonly seen so you want to protect them to most. Hope this helps

For me personally, I would cut the rear cover strip off. Trim the inner and outer thigh sides accordingly leaving enough room on the outer side to glue the cover strip back on. Sand the cover strip down so it's not too thick (if necessary) then glue it like a typical OTTK assembly. Afterwards velcro the inner seam to make it functional.

Nice work so far Chris Looks like you're working past the lack of uniformity between sections, great job. You've definitely got what it takes to make this armor look awesome. Can't wait to see it finished.

I have to agree with Joseph here. From what I can see he has consent to print the files. So long as he doesn't remove the watermark and resell them it shouldn't matter what material they're made from of as a finished product. Bishop has shown no desire to resell them so it's safe to say they are for his own personal use.
