Gluing Urethane to an Undersuit:
Hey guys. I've got everything here now to put the suit together. I'm aware that with Urethane, you only want to glue about an inch to and in and a half of the edges of the armor to the undersuit. My main question is, what kind of glue is best for gluing urethane to the undersuit?
I've heard superglue is good. I also know that almost nothing sticks to urethane. Just want to make sure I get this right! Thanks.

Re: Gluing Urethane to an Undersuit:
Thanks guys. I'll be posting pics of this soon hopefully! I've gotta modify my cape, add rings to the cape and cowl, and attach the cape clips to the suit as well.

Re: Gluing Urethane to an Undersuit:
I've also been told that using CA adhesives work very well with urethane. possibly better than superglue. Check out www.greatplanes.com and look under adhesives. Find the one that says "thick, slow cure CA-" I think that one will probably be your best bet. I'm in the same boat man. all components are ready, will have the undersuit in a few days and the guy that i got the undersuit from (Kbillan) says that this type of glue is the way to go. either way, good luck to us both!! :cheers:

Re: Gluing Urethane to an Undersuit:
who made that torso?
its red not black? means not enough pigment was used
and is your cowl foam?

And what’s ten years? Well, it’s roughly how long it takes to put in ten thousand hours of hard practice. Ten thousand hours is the magic number of greatness.
