Since you mentioned getting to higher levels, maybe you can answer this - should I loosen the ear cover, and glue the tubing underneath? Sent from my LG-M322 using Tapatalk

Yeah, I already had it on without glue, but it came off while transporting it. I'll have to glue it, but I was hoping Loctite was ok to use, since it will apply much cleaner through the small needle nose tube applicator. Sent from my LG-M322 using Tapatalk

Poo. I couldn't troop in my first event today because the tubing came off my helmet. What's the best glue for that? (The tube lining around the base of the bucket). I am hoping it's something like a super glue/Loctite thing because the needle nose applicator would greatly help, rather than the globs of E6000... I guess the questions never stop, even though I'm officially in!

Thanks, Cricket! Hey, I think you are the one who did a thread about using magnets to enclose the shins - is that correct? If so, can you link me to it? One of my friend's uses that method, and loves it. I'm hating the bra hook thing.

I'm going on my first troop today, and this is a last minute question. I do not yet have a fan helmet, and it's going to be 50s and rainy here in Michigan. What's a good anti-fogging strategy? I'm seeing a Rain X anti fogging spray for glass - would this work on the TK helmet lenses?

Thanks, but I was talking more about protection for the boot material itself.

I'm about to go on my first troop, and the weather is supposed to be cold and rainy. Should I be using any kind of weather protection on my TK boots? Sent from my LG-M322 using Tapatalk

Ooh, nice idea. Thanks! I was worried about the bleed through. Sent from my LG-M322 using Tapatalk

It's nylon, and no, it is not on top of the glove. Maybe Loctite would work? I can try it. Thanks.

Anyone have experience with these type of gloves? Ok for approval, and will hand guards stay on this material well with E6000, or suggest another adhesive? Thanks! Sent from my LG-M322 using Tapatalk

Maybe a silly question, but did you glue the rubber trim that goes across the forehead? I had someone build this for me, and it keeps slipping off. It wasn't glued, and I'm wondering if I should glue it.

Hi Paul, my name is Ron. I am selling a complete kit from Anovos. I bought it from a guy here in Michigan who never began his build - it is completely untrimmed whatsoever. Anovos is an approved seller of 501st armor, and they are currently out of stock on the TK kit. Check out their web site, and do your research here. But, I think you will find this is not an inexpensive hobby. Also, Anovos takes quite a long time to build and mail your kit, if that's who you go with. I have the same kit that you could have almost immediately. Anyway, check things out. I have people who will vouch for me and my character. Hope to hear from you, and good luck!

What is the wattage on your Anker power supply? I see an 18 and a 24W on Amazon that are about the same size.

Nearly done with my TK build! What's the best helmet fan cooling system? Maybe a silly question, but is there a wireless system? Would rather not have wires running up and down my neck. I've heard of Henry's, and Troopacoola. Recommendations? Thanks!

From CRL?

Without buying a rivet gun for two little connections, is it ok to attach the holster to the belt with Chicago screws for the TK Stunt?

I will be selling an Anovos kit, completely untrimmed, 100% complete. It is an XL size, and with all of the soft goods (undersuit, belt, strapping material, etc.), Anovos is $1100. I'll be selling for less than that, plus it would be shipped out immediately after payment. Anovos takes over six months to get it to you. If you are interested, let me know before I post it.

I did use the direct link, I thought. And what does RO ab mean?

Nice tip about the toothpick! Here is my first round of painting...

Duh, to myself, I also meant to ask the length.

Trying to ask more questions without clogging up the thread board. I am cutting my own holster straps for the TK stunt. I saw on another post, but wasn't sure which Trooper it was for, that the width is about 20mm. Is this about right?

Thanks I just ordered tactical pads. Seems the best option both for secure fitting and cleaning. I did post this a while ago, but might as well ask you - what speaker system do you have, and do you like it? I may not need a fan here in Michigan until the spring.

Tactical pads? Is that anything like the pads sold at Michaels? They are firm, but flexible - not as porous as foam.

OK, I am so close!! Don't be too proud of me, as a friend offered to construct my helmet for my TK. Anywhoo, a couple questions. First, what is the best head gear for the inside of the helmet? Hard hat liner, velcro, leeches? I mean, they'd kinda hurt, but would stick to my head. Second, maybe kinda nit picky, but I am about to paint the ab buttons. I have the correct paint, but is there a special kind of paint brush that leaves the least amount of streaks? Thanks! And I will be posting pics for my pre-approval within a couple weeks - SOOO geeked!
