supa troop Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) Need help and advice from you Technical gurus please, ive been building the new Legacy Fem armour for the wife, I may have over trimmed the shins slightly but I kept to the lines suggested so not sure how that's happened, anyway the 2 halfs of the shin armour are are shimmed at the front using a fillet piece at the back which leaves a nasty gap at the front, to make this a seamless line I need to fill in the gap and spray the shins, my question is whats the best material to use to fill gaps in ABS ?? ------------- Edited July 23, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link removed no longer working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dday[501st] Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 The best material is ABS You take the scraps of ABS from trimming and melt it down with some acetone. This will melt the ABS into paste and let you fill any gaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazmosis[501st] Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Don't panic if the gap doesn;t fill in the first time. Certain gaps will take a couple coats. Have patience, sandpaper, and polishing compound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnie_DK[TK] Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 And dont overdo it. The more ABS paste you use, the longer it will take to harden and you might risk doing more damage than good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
