Has Anyone Used Dritz Non Roll Elastic? TM Build

[millenium1]

Hi all, 

 

I am waiting for my TM armour and wondered if anyone has used Dritz non roll elastic for their strapping? Any recommendations and advise would be greatly appreciated as i want to give this beautiful armour the best possible attention it deserves.

 

Many thanks

I use it.

I think that's what I used. Works great. My only recommendation is that you fold the ends over when you place your snaps through it. That way the stem of the snap goes through two layers of elastic and is less likely to pull through or fail over time.

Sounds like a score, Ricky!!!

actually the regular elastic should be used if you're going to replicate the original type.

personally I don't like the ribbing effect?

 

for straps that are going to be seen such as the forearms and thighs and other possible areas

the ribbing stands out and can be seen compared to the undersuit.

For being cheap at Walmart it's surprisingly good!
