Martinnfb Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Oh well, hurt feelings aside, FM belts are easy to apply with a use of normal glue and you can cold mould them into desired shape. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 I'm the opposite of you Martin. I can't get the Fine Molds belts to work for me at all. They kept breaking on me whenever I tried to bend/shape them. I gave all of mine away. Harv, I have a couple lap belts that I didn't use I can send you if that makes it easier on your eyes. They're assembled and ready to go. Easy enough to slip in an envelope. Let me know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill_S Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Those HGW belts can be a PITA, Harv - but they're worth it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harv Posted October 16, 2018 Author Share Posted October 16, 2018 yes they are. After assembly, I did give them a dark wash. I think they came out ok........Harv 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Hi Harv, it makes things easier to assemble the HGW belts while the PE is still on the fret. It defiddles the whole process. A thing I learned through a very kind member in this place . Cheers Rob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way to bend the FineMold belts without breaking them is to hold the piece up to a hot light bulb with a pair of tweezers for about 20-30 seconds then bend it. Works for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am now following, so please do get on with it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
