CallMeMrTibbles[501st] Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 Found a new and useful technique by accident last night. Likely guys that have been costuming a while already know this, but figured it could be useful for newer troopers. I always check my kit after a troop to see if any repairs are needed. Discovered last night that shining a torch from behind your armour is great for highlighting cracks that you could otherwise not notice or are 'only just' starting to form. Here's my shoulder bridge with no back-light. You can just about see a crack forming. But with a torch behind its impossible to miss. Catching cracks early while they're still small could save a real headache during a troop. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goggytalks[TK] Posted March 3, 2022 Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 Found quite a big crack on my bum panel a few weeks ago using this method. Couldn’t see it with the naked eye but shining the torch showed how bad it was. Fixed it now. Really good tip this.
