COLOR SHIFT FLEXIBLE SPIKE ARMOR PANEL

$26.00

Quantity

6" x 4.5" flexible urethane with color shifting surface. The color shift effect is infused with the urethane and will not easily rub off. Apply a coat of spray clear gloss Plasti-Dip to further protect it and enhance the effect. They can take acrylic paint but it will bead off if too watered down.

There may be minor imperfections in the casts! You will get the exact panel pictured.

You can sew these panels onto fabric by making sew holes with an awl and using a thick curved needle with sturdy thread. I have been using Ure-Bond to glue this onto fabrics with great results! I pin the armor on over the fabric while draped over my dummy torso with T- pins or clamp on while the adhesive cures. It doesn't take other glues too well unfortunately. The backs will be unsanded and glossy, I recommend sanding the back with rough sandpaper before attempting to glue them.

You can stack and arrange them in really cool patterns! The panels will flex without tearing but keep in mind they are not indestructible.

If you would like to thin out the panel to make it more flexible, use a belt sander to gently grind down the back. Be careful as the rubber texture likes to catch on the belt, go slowly and sand one half at a time.
