  1. As seen in my other thread, last night I finally completed the body portion of my armor (helmet still in progress) and got suited up for the first time. Wow...I mean...wow, what a feeling! Now I know for sure why this hobby becomes an addiction! But while I was suiting up I started having a problem: my snaps were not staying together. I wasn't moving around much - since it was my first time in the suit I had my wife helping me snap a lot of the pieces - but snaps were still coming apart all over the place. I used Tandy Line 24 snaps for everything, as that's the brand I saw most often referenced here. I bought a pair of snap pliers from the local hobby store and crimped them all together using that tool. One thing I noticed while I was assembling the various pieces was that it was sometimes very, very hard to get the male and female snap to make a connection, and when it did, it was a weak bond that would come apart very easily. Have any of you ran into this problem before? If so, what was your solution?
