"you have the only 'zote armour that doesn't look like 'zote armour." describes it pretty damn well!

Are you ever going to reveal what brand glue worked so well?

Sure. I've been replying to anyone who asked on CI

The brand is Loxley, I get mine from London graphics but this is also available here

I used about three or four others and they tended to crack after they had dried for a few days.

I tend to use a minimum of 6 layers, although parts of Priss had 12 layers on it.

I've had a few ideas about this stuff since the weekend. I'm going to grab a bottle of it at some point to test, but I think it might be possible to thin it with IPA and airbrush the stuff. Infact, I'm pretty sure it's possible since you can already get water soluble PV suspended in IPA as a mould release, so I don't see why there would be any bad reactions.

If it *IS* possible, it would mean a totally flawless finish. Sad thing is I have absolutely no use for it for at least 3-4 projects xD

Then clearly the thing to do is send me your airbrush and compressor :P

In all seriousness, my next project is unlikely to be heavily armour based anyway, but have some thoughts that I wish to experiment with.

Don't expect it to have the same flexibility as latex, it doesn't, but there is some flex
