ah yea thx for making a sqtddtot

Its a me, the armor fag. Last time I asked with what type of rivets I could afix epoxi'd fiberglass scales onto some sturdy clothing. Got good answers but sadly it would become too heavy to wear. Am bidding on ebay on some fragmentation protection vests. Now I got a new question.

As you all know, I made a 1 cm thick polycarbonate visor. Heat bend it in my oven at about 175° celsius, thermoplastic anon helped me greatly figuring this one out. I used a curved wooden piece of a children's chair the get the polycarbonate in shape. How would you make a more dedicated curved forming piece of something that can withstand oven heat. For example, I buy a cheap used helmet that has it's own visor, I make a copy of the visor with the same curvature, place it in the oven and heat bend the PC over it into shape, then remove the original visor of the helmet and place my own made on it. On a further note I would have studded the helmet with fiberglass clothing and epoxy.

Voila, ghetto certified lvl 3-ish bullet resistant visor helmet. 2 cm of PC is used in liqour store counters for keeping clerks safe from handguns so shut up.

haha magic, it realy takes on form
