Blacksmith Body Armor For The Ukraine Part 3 Anti Spall Coating 

"Probably not the best idea, but it's the only idea I got'. 04/11/2022 Great to see you on!

О, дякую Вам. З нетерпінням чекаємо тесту, чи здатна пластина витримати 762. Дякую, своєю працею Ви допомагаєте і даєте алгоритм можливих дій! Удачі Вам!

Sir you would actually be mistaken. It basically is a truck bed lining. I would recommend spraying it on the plates at about 150mils minimum and do both sides and pay attention to the edges as they need to be coated extremely well also. Take one of your plates to a local truck bed liner shop and have them to spray it for you. It does require specific equipment to process and spray the product as it is a fast set thick film plural component coating called Polyurea. Polyurea is the Technology, which does have many specific formulas for specific uses. Or you could send me one of your plates and I’d be happy to spray one for you. Check some of my videos on my page. I have one video on shooting a unprotected plate and then one that has been sprayed.

Military grade= Cheapest supplier that cut every corner they could to make as much profit as they could ! Why not something simple like plumbers silicone or PU foam? Or simple cotton sheet glued in wood glue . Or a tire rubber.Dont get me wrong but i dont think amazon delivers to ukraine right now .

Dude love watching your videos always interesting. Awesome job

Wow didn't expect you to keep posting on this thanks. Btw could you please be so kind as to show how exactly to treat it in the way you did to deflect ap 06. I'd appreciate it.

Would love to see how it works. Thanks for the info

topcoat with several layers of polyurethane truck bed liner

Brandon your doin great work sir! I can say having a bit of experience with composite work that your logic is sound. Id like to toss another idea in the mix that might be more readily available. HDPE plastic layers in the spall protection layers. The stuff antifreeze bottles and milk jugs are made of.

glad to see you are doing better, i need to get over there to get the sword and armor hangers done

I’m considering getting into blacksmithing. Theoretical, say we had some full faced helmet like the ones from Star Wars that completely sealed your head, wouldn’t fragments like that no longer be an issue because then they’re flying up into an armored helmet? Thanks. You’re gonna be seeing me around your comment sections from now on, gonna be asking a lot of questions, appreciate you.

I heard the rubber Mats for horse trailers work well, will testing it out to see.

imperial all the way

Hello. Cool. I waited .. I would rather have tests))) .. At the beginning of the video I wanted to advise you to wear gloves when working with resins)) but then you did it)))) you have to love working with resins))) rather not a pleasant experience if this type of work do not like)))

"Military Grade" so most people oh thats good quality to military people thats cheap huh lol

I'd put 4 more layers on the face of it. 2 layers just isn't enough.

how about adding a 1/2 to 2/3 of inch panel of fiberglass similar to what they make doors out of to the outside under the kevlar? it should act like a styrofoam target when a BB hits it

You should watch Tod’s workshop tests with arrows versus armor. Knight’s armor, while also having other design choices, put in a steep V shape below the neck to deflect the wooden shards of arrows that hit the chest, and prevent them from going up into a knight’s face or neck, and you can see it work in slow motion in Tod’s videos. I think this would be a far superior method to any sort of coating, though the two together would be the best, obviously.

Why don't you weld a additional rebar (either cut in half and outside edge rounded or full rebar) around the outer edge of the strike face (the side that is going to be shot at), where the spalling can help contain it, but the larger fragments can get wedged between the rebar and plate or straight up stopped.

Hello from Ukraine ❤️

Duct tape and Kevlar are what I have my money on as the best at home option.

Just a thought: I wonder how effectively you could recondition a steel plate like this after a hole got dug in it? Maybe Demolition Ranch could send some back, and you see how hard they are to patch, and how effective they are afterwards?

that "yellowish" color is called "cream". Taupe is more of a tan/gray color. Nonetheless, another great video. Thank you. The metric system is ridiculous. Better to stick with the best system which is called American Standard( and no it is not the Imperial system which was in Canada and Britain but not the US!) The only problem I foresee is that fiberglass resin does not bond with Kevlar. I have had plenty of experience working with both as at one time I worked at an aircraft manufacturer whose main business was making parts and panels with Kevlar, fiberglass, and carbon materials.

True American 🇺🇸 love your videos

Real life Ragnar Lothbrok

Would convey belt rubber material be good for spalling

Two rolls of Silver tape are faster. If U wanna be pro, take four rolls 😃

Where the second video ?
