I said before that I was doubtful about using this stuff in the beginning but that was a mistake, it's a good material. It has it's limits no doubt but I've seen some really impressive costumes made from it. The shin/boot armor may be on the cards at some point. The next thing I'm making for someone is a belt buckle fascia.nondisclosed_email@example.com (Skupilkinson)Mon, 29 Aug 2011 23:48:58 +0000 Re: Arkham Asylum/City Gauntlets(second pass)https://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2248731,from=rss#post2248731https://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2248731,from=rss#post2248731Those look really cool, I may have to try this waynondisclosed_email@example.com (mackle89)Mon, 29 Aug 2011 23:40:52 +0000 Re: Arkham Asylum/City Gauntlets(second pass)https://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2248691,from=rss#post2248691https://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2248691,from=rss#post2248691great work, wow amazing what can be done with the right stuff. are you planning on making the boot armor as well??nondisclosed_email@example.com (phocker)Mon, 29 Aug 2011 19:08:54 +0000 Re: Arkham Asylum/City Gauntlets(second pass)https://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2248687,from=rss#post2248687https://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2248687,from=rss#post2248687Skip, Your work keeps getting better and better.

Well they are pretty durable. Good enough for wearing to events definitely. But I've not tried battling Bane with them? LOL! The glue bonds really well with this stuff and it's very difficult to pull a join apart again once glued and dry. Trust me I've tried after making a mistake on another project. LOL! The foam is reasonably priced I'd say. I'm in the UK though but it costs around £30GBP for a sheet that's 4'x6', so lots of foam there. I managed to get the other one pretty much all done tonight. A few extra coats of plastdip in the morning and they're good to go. :) Thanks again guys.

But I get it from a locally based seller. I think they manufacter it onsite too? http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/ark_rubber_and_resin/ It's amazing stuff! Cuts very clean, takes to being heat formed really well and a Dremmel works wonders with it which is a surprise as I expected a dremmel to melt it but it doesn't.
