ComradeDave[TK] Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 hmmm, that's an issue I've run into too. do you have any pictures of the pieces needing better fitting. Some of those problem areas can be reshaped via hot water, or VERY careful heating. I've already had to for go the typical cover strip widths on my armour due to my size.

ComradeDave[TK] Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 I see the picture now. Ok first if the wrist return edge is still there that can be completely taken off. you can also probably trim the side edges that go toward your inner forearm down to fit. Try dry fitting the 2 pieces and mark where they are comfortable on your arms. for mine I had to trim to 6.5mm on the ridge of my forearms on either side for a 13mm coverstrip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKZombie[TK] Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) Overlap the two pieces till they fit you and tape them with painters tape then you can see how much you need to cut off, on my biceps I had to remove a 1" overlap so I took a 1/2" of each end. I generally trim an equal amount of each side vs taking it all off one side only. Here is my bicep before and after trimming. ---------- Edited January 6, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
