I cam across a problem in the process of trying to finish my kit.
I am at the stage of placement of the armor plates onto the soft parts .
Im using Velcro and its just me so I was having a rough time trying to mark off where I need to sew the Velcro.. every time i moved, something shifted before i could mark or pin the Velcro since i had to wear my flak vest in order to get the right placement.
after walking away for a bit i had an idea..
Baby powder..
The Velcro with the sticky side was already placed on the armor.. that was the easy part.
Now the Velcro without the sticky back that gets sewn to the soft parts was joined with the hook side like normal..
This is where the baby powder came in.. i sprinkled it on the non sticky back of the loop side .. shook off the excess and moved the collar to where I wanted it.. sat it down and gave a few smacks from one end to the other.. it left baby power where the Velcro should be sewn... worked just as a chalk line would when building..
I didnt get a picture with the baby powder on the back but im sure you got the idea..
Hope this helps someone out whos stuck without some extra hands
currently it is only pinned in place so the strip is not even close to fully attached...
