I am trying to make a spiderman spandex costume for 1/6 figure. I was considering using heat n bond soft stretch ultra. Would the heat n bond be strong enough not to split apart at the seams even during dynamic poses like leg splits and crouching poses. Does it hold the seams just as well as stitching?

You might experiment with the small roll (as big as electric tape) and see what you see there. I use the high-bond assortment because my hems are so small. I think what’s most important is that you use a 4-way stretch spandex. That way it’s stretching across the body as well as with the hens? Just a thought but seems important.

thanks. What is high bond assortment?

@@Augnalius I believe just the stronger adhesive

Heatnbond soft stretch comes in light and ultra. I guess ultra would be the same thing as the high bond assortement.

@@Augnalius you might be right. BUT I will stand by the 4way stretch of the fabric being a must. Likely takes a lot of the stress off your hems.

How would you suggesting doing a McFarlane Batman?

@GeekSummit 2 жыл бұрын

It depends on the figure. The Rebirth Batman can for sure be done just like this. Other figures like Detective#1000 I’d recommend doing the work under the collar (check out my other videos).

Excuse me for a question, what kind of fabric? It's the one they put on the infected Superman what is the name of the fabric please tell me

@GeekSummit Ай бұрын

No lie, I don’t know the fabric TYPE, I work by touch when selecting fabrics. But this was definitely atleast a 2 way stretch polyester/cotton blend. It had a slight sports jersey texture/pattern to it. I hope that info helps some.

What is the type of fabric used for this?

@GeekSummit 3 жыл бұрын

You’ll want to use a thinner but slightly heavyweight polyester. Like what is used to make Halloween costumes.

Is really a problema to take out the original cape?

@GeekSummit 3 жыл бұрын

Not really. Just grab it firmly and pull. You may want to pop the arms out first so you’re just dealing with the torso.
