snoberg Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 SO, the front of my AP thighs seem to match up well, and the finishing strip seems self explanatory. The back of the thighs are a different story. One side has the raised edge, the other is flat. How does one achieve a proper finishing strip like this? Do you overlap the smooth edge under the raised edge? I plan to glue my thighs by the way, no velcro. I have looked around and I have seen no explicit instruction on this.

NoVATie[Admin] Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Is your thigh small enough to butt those edges together and glue on a cover strip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoberg Posted July 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Is your thigh small enough to butt those edges together and glue on a cover strip? I think I could comfortably do it either way. I do have skinny legs, but I can always cut off more on the flat end if needed. Is the standard way to do it butting these edges together?

TrooperTim Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 (edited) ANH style is a butt joint; ROTJ is overlap; not sure what ESB style is actually. I butted both ends and slapped a strip over it. My thighs just slide on - everything is glued. Some overlap the edges and velcro them shut. Whatever is most comfortable/easier. The thighs didn't line up right for me in the back so minor trimming was necessary. I cut equal distance on each side in the back to keep the front/back strips aligned. I can post up an image of mine later today if you'd like. ----------- Edited February 24, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK_LEPER Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 I overlapped the raised part (over the flat) on mine. Didn't do a strip on the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye[501st] Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 I would recommend use velcro first, troop then see what need to be taken off.thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
