Cutting into shin and need to repair


Tais

Recommended Posts

Hello Guys,

 

I've been putting off trimming the excess velcro from the back of my shin for too long and tonight I had someone trim it for me. Unfortunately I couldn't do it myself as I had to wear it and they cut too deep with the razor blade and gouged the bottom 4 inches or so. I'm afraid after trooping and fatigue that it'll break. What's the best way to approach reenforcing it? Just putting some ABS plastic on the backside?

 

I'd probably have to remove the velcro on the back and glue some spare ABS plastic to the back side but on the front I'm not sure there is much I can do but its my lower part of my shin in the back so its not highly visible.

 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think you have answered your own question.

A spare strip of ABS or Hips will do fine.

I bought an A4 size 2 pack of HIPS 1mm thick for repairs such as that.

I went with the 1mm for flexibility as it's easy to bend.
