I am new to this group.This is a really cool idea. Has anyone tried the oven method of heating up the PVC? I have not started making armor yet and am finding out all these different ways to build it. Of course I would like to do a cost effective armor build. I did like the post about how if someone punches you they hurt their hand,lol. Maybe someone should do a youtube video on this.

Thanks,Daren

Welcome, Daren.  :)

I used the oven method on my first three sets of armor; it works well, but be careful not to burn it (the toxic smell is unhealthy), and use a towel against your body for shaping, as it will be hot (it helps to have a second person assisting).

Use a spray bottle of water (or the tap) to help 'set' the shape, once you get what you like.
