You can use scraps from your build as they don't have to be pretty. Be sure to save some scraps for the inside front of the calves as well. Since they get a workout from constantly opening/closing them while putting on your armor any reinforcement helps. Thanks for the speedy reply, I've already done the internal ones with scraps, so this will be something for me to do tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gmrhodes13[Staff] Report post Posted Tuesday at 10:47 PM Just a tip, if you use some coarse sandpaper on the backs of the cover strips and front of armor it will help the glue to adhere. I scuff my sheets before cutting in to strips, can easily tell which side is which then 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
