    Just checked Michaels online and they have a few types in stock by me. One is just regular industrial strength and the other is industrial strength white. What color is the original? I feel white would be best in case of overflow. Also it’s like 3oz a tube. Any thoughts on how much I’ll go through? I’d rather do one trip then multiple.

    Gonna move on to the forearms and then the shoulders and get the arms out of the way. Not sure if I’m gonna go chest down after that or legs up. As for glue I’m using a glue that came with the armor.  Doesn’t say it’s e6000, but it dries in like a half hour, still trying to get some excess off and I picked up some Novus polish so I’m gonna polish the area when I’m done and hope for the best. I’ve also been sanding the edges, how perfect do they need to be? If you get a good look, and I say this only cause I’m critical of myself but they aren’t perfect. I’m sanding but I don’t want to go crazy.

    Thank you!

    Welcome!

     

    just started my build. Hour and a half on the first bicep, thirty minutes on the second. I have no DIY abillity at all and was in the same boat as you, hoping I don’t ruin a $700 investment. While I’m not far into my build I’m finding it tedious and enjoyable to say “I did that”. Just take your time and don’t rush anything.

    Thanks guys, I’ll give it a shot, feel better about it. 

     

    Harbinger took me like an hour and half to fit and trim 1 bicep, all I could think about was ruining it and wasting a ton of money. 2nd bicep about a half hour. Glued them up and that was that for the day. Don’t want to rush it cause that’s how I make mistakes.

    From one new guy to another welcome. Just started mine today. I’ve got AM armor and It’s nerve racking cutting something I paid so much for. I watched a ton of videos and how to tutorials on here and YouTube, tons of good info. Actually enjoyed “Panda Props” on YouTube I thought it was easy to follow. You can search it out or just type in “TK armor build” and block off a few days to watch videos.

    little oops when starting and had some glue over flow on the backs of both arms. None of it is bad, any ideas for removal? F6C54FDF-7051-4663-A859-FA0A3F977D37.jpeg.989e4c9db967c188eb17c190d4b0ef0f.jpeg

    Great info appreciate it all. Just feel I’m gonna glue wrong and not be able to fix it. Armor is AM version 2.0. From what I’ve seen it’s easier then it looks. I’m hoping it all just fits and I don’t have to trim much but that might be wishful thinking. Right now it’s all still packed. I’m gonna wait until I have a good day designated to just unpack it and take it all in. Patience is my problem, I lack it. I’m gonna do my best though since there is such an investment involved.

    So the excitement has begun and the armor has arrived. No idea how to do this and no clue where to begin. If anyone can help with some direction that would be great. I’ve watched a few videos and they skip over some things. Just don’t want to mess up and have to redo it all.
