Brother: psh, hot glue? That's too weak for what you intend to use it for. If you want a strong bond, use this 2 parts epoxy glue
Me, having watched dozens of videos on epoxy, already wary: ok but is it glue or is it resin?
Brother: it's an adhesive
It was resin.
Fast forward to 24hrs later, and parts of it are still sticky, and now it's a ping pong game between "does it need longer to dry? It's epoxy. The internet says it takes anywhere between 8 and 72 hrs to cure" and "what if I'm waiting for nothing cause the two component weren't mixed well enough to begin with and it can't cure" in my head and I'm stuck
Cosplayers who con crunch, how do you keep the anxiety at bay. Asking for a friend
... Anyway.
Plan B.
It looks like I'm building the "puny feathers" version too to keep my hands busy in the meantime
It's either that or cosplaying the plucked version and calling myself a manga spoiler at this point dhbsbsb
#Tempted to just go with the spoiler ngl#I knew these wings would be a hassle but#They're a hassle in fascinating new unexplored and unforeseen ways#The con is next week#Please do not take 72 hrs to cure#I need to know if I can work on the next part of this damn project or not 😭#Until i can test it out I don't wanna glue on the feathers...
