Hello 405th I finaly got my clay in yesterday I had a finished odst pep laying around that i thought would be good to use. I used hot glue to put it toghether.

Today I melted the clay and poured it into the helmet. It came to my discovery that all the hot glue was heated up and slipped away, allowing the clay to open up the helmet:

This tread is to warn other people who think about useing clay in their helmets. Do not use hot glue!

So now I have to make a new helmet with another glue

With hot clay, super glue is best, school glue or hot glue will either disolve or return to a liquid form.

OUCH! I can't imagine the amount of profanity that must have filled that kitchen when you realized what happened.

A great man once said "Mistakes are the only things you can truly call your own."

Thanks Jico. You enter the breach so that we don't have to.

Only use hot glue if you are sure it wont be reheated. sunlight CANNOT melt hot glue, but something like hot clay can. I only use hot glue because I use more hot glue instead of resin.
