Use whatever you want to strap it to the armor.
For the little domes, use whatever you want. I can not find the things I used, anywhere. I bought them like, almost 10 years ago at an yard sale.
I have no idea what the plastic bolts are. I found them hear the pluming stuff, I think. I can't find them online for the life of me, though.

I appreciate you man, thanks for this video :)

[@TOliver987]

Thanks so much very helpfull, would have never thought to use sink hole cover bolts. Also there for the sinks that have accesory holes in the corner for soap dispensors or secondary water rinse spickets etc. they cover them if you decide not to install anything into them.

I love your videos. They are very helpful! 😊

[@JeiCos]

Thank you so much! I'm just glad people can get some use out of them, be that learning how to make something, or just being something to watch in general.

Hello just wanted to say great cosplay tutorial I just agve one question what were the type of bolts that you bought at lows?

[@JeiCos]

Hi, sorry but I have no idea what the bolts are for. But I can tell you the section they were in. It was same section that had little other parts for things like toilets. Like other gaskets and such for that. There were metal things as well hanging on the same section. But yea, sadly I have no idea what these are even for in the first place.

this looks so great!! your cosplays are so good :0 do you think foam clay would work as a seam sealant instead of foam mold? (that's what i have on hand)

[@JeiCos]

Thank you! I don't know what the stuff is you're talking about, but if it's similar to the eva foam clay, or another clay-like- thing, then no, you don'T wanna seal with that. Sealers are meant to be a top coat over a material. The foam-mo eva clay is just a clay that dries into eva foam. It doesn't protect anything, and is no different than if you were to just glue on another layer of regular eva foam from a sheet. Once it dries, it's just regular eva foam, therefore needing to be sealed and protected from the paint. If the stuff you're talking about is basically the same thing, then it'll do the same thing.

Actually, disregard my last comment, I was looking back and re-read what you typed and realized I read it wrong. So to ACTUALLY answer your question, I'm gonna still say no, but I can't be sure 100%. Again, I don't know what that stuff is you were talking about, but the best option for sealing a seam up is: For pieces that son't be stressed for flexed, I'd go with wood filler. This is seams like in this specific armor, or other armor/props that are going to stay ridig and not be flexed in any way, like a sword or shield. For seams that WILL have stress or flex, flex seal is best. It'll stay somewhat flexible without cracking on you so easily. This would be on things like torso armor or something, where the movement of your body will put stress of the seam, or possibly flex it a bit.

hello so I printed out your template for the dissidia armor but the template on the paper came out really small is there a reason for that?

[@JeiCos]

Hi, yes, so that was uld he because you just printed it as a picture. You need to use a PDF reader program. Adobe Acrobat is a free one. It's what I use. When you got my template, you got it from my website? On the top of the page where all my templates are on my site, there's 2 button at the top that are tutorials on how to print the templates correctly. One is text and photos, and the other takes you to a video where I walk through the process.

[@blackfangsamuki6519]

ohhh ok I see I was so confused because I went to the library to go print it out and and when I did I was so confused on why it was so small but that clears it all up thank you very much for telling me @@JeiCos
