Quebectrooper Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 I glued a snap button inside my chest plate and realized this morning you see the shape of the button on the other side ! Its now sanded down and fixed but what happenned? Too much ABS glue or the plastic is too thin? People who don't know about this might make the same mistake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKDUEUNO Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Too much ABS glue or the plastic is too thin? Definitely, maybe both. That's why is best to use E6000 + snaps-on-tabs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkTrooper[TK] Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Also some people glue the snap to a spare piece of plastic first then attach that piece to the armor piece. Extra piece of plastic between the snap and armor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firebladejedi[TK] Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Some glues react badly when it touch's the metal snap and it can warp the outside armour plastic. I have had this happen before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I've seen some garrison members who've had the same problem... rounded bubbles form on the opposite side of a glued snap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
