Just wondering, I have some ESS profile military goggles(ANSI/ANZI approved) should I not use those? Is there a chance that something will shatter my lens? I guess nothing will, because those clear woodcutting goggles DEFINATELY can't hold up as well.

Hey, quick question,



I can't seem to find any other kind of respirator that is gas and particle protection, and my mom doesn't want me ordering the gas mask you suggested, because it ships from hong kong >.>



so I was wondering if you think these would work?

Cool, now that I have an idea of what I need I can finally get started!!

I have searched everywhere and still have not found where I can get those black tube things on the left and right of the "mouth" piece of the MK6 helm. Can anyone shed light on it or get ithica to add it to the list? I really have no idea how to add this detail to my helm after bondo, im using pepakura by the way

 

[noise therapy]

thank you for all of this.

@ Master Sunsau

I know the detail that ur talking about, and i dont know if this is wut u want, but go to this link that ithica posted earlier: http://405th.com/for...showtopic=16507

he used that tut for the shoe "seal" but if u properly apply it to the detail that ur talking about, it SHOULD work. a way would be to cut it at an angle and pinch it in so its more tubular and then hot glue it in but hold it in place until it dries unless it can stay. if that don't work, then maybe find a smaller plunger than the one he used. or go to home depot and u might find some tubing in the basic detailed shape that u want, and it just might work. hope i helped



EDIT:

Split Flex tubing; available at almost any hardware store

I dug that up from a post from like 2006. it also allows ventilation, so its great once again, hope i helped



and i got the quote from Sean Bradley, i couldnt figure out how to do a proper quotation, srry

Great list. It really put the cost of an armor project into perspective for me.



I'm not sure if it's only my walmart or if it's nation wide, but the 2" chip brushes at my walmart were $0.88 a piece.

Thanks for this! I was starting to make the pepakura of my mjolnir mark VI and was kinda confused what i need and where to get it. Sadly no walmarts here :/

Need to find them somewhere else. Shouldn't be hard tho. atleast i wish so.

Amazing work!

 

[Con Man]

By far the best Sticky on the entire site, well worth the time to read it.

I tried sending a reply via pm to ithica but he couldn't receive any more so... sorry for replying here.

Just a few things to note from a noobs perspective. The gas is an "Anti-Dust spray chemical gas" respirator from Neiko Tools(this had me confused when I went to my local hardware store) the rubber gloves, do you literally mean rubber gloves or just like latex-ish gloves? And the last thing I would suggest you put down woodworking goggles instead of glasses, I haven't sanded fiberglass before but I'd imagine glasses wouldn't cut it for protecting your eyes? Not meaning to be a jerk I was just confused as hell over a few things cause I wrote exactly what u put down on a piece of paper and went to the store haha. other than that THANK YOU for this list it's been a big help.



Oh, and i forgot, is 200 the grit or the number of those dremel sanding drums I need? cause i could only find 60 and 120 grit in walmart lol.
