I managed to get this installed to my thigh without the need of a heat gun or boiling water. However, I can't help but see that theres a white bruise on the left side of the belt (kinda hard to see). i'm concerned that it might be a sign that the belt might break. I might have to consider doing the "unthinkable", which is using a heat gun at this point due to the piece being glued. If I were to do it, I will need to be very careful because I painted the rivets white with humbrol paint (which is flammable) and might have to use aluminum tin foil to prevent the plastic from burning. Any suggestions?
