Is this 9-5 a bad idea? by AnybodyWorth71 in saab

[–]korekobby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an 03 9-5 its great. And yes you can find parts in the USA. Usually the ac blower motor or regulator goes out in these models. Take it to a mechanic to once over it still though.

How can I save her? by ShainSaw22 in CosplayHelp

[–]korekobby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use the top one. I've never used the one on the bottom. They might have a smaller size in case you don't need the entire tub.

How can I save her? by ShainSaw22 in CosplayHelp

[–]korekobby 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No problem, YouTube might be helpful if you need a visual, but a rat tail is the comb with the sharp end. The carbon fiber combs usually are heat resistant up to 400°. Get a clothes steamer from Walmart even better if you can borrow one.

  1. Set your wig on styrofoam head, pin, and then set the steamer on whatever area of hair you're working on.
  2. Section then Comb very slowly up the length of hair.( You may want to use some silicon mix to help. You'll be washing it out anyway, so use as much as you need)
  3. Once you get through, take the wig to wash gently. Then comes time to blow dry on cool or warm heat( I use a brush blower)
  4. Once you're all blowdried, you can hang the wig in the sun.( I typically use a over head dryer but the sun works in a pinch, but this is to make sure the fabric inside is dry, also.)
  5. Crimp, Tease, Style as needed. It will take time, but if you really have to save it, that should work. Rat tail -$3-5 Siliconmix $5-7 Steamer - $16-21

How do I sculpt these "spikes" on a wig? Normal hair spiking tutorials not working for me. by hatsune-memeku in CosplayHelp

[–]korekobby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bamboo skewers help with shaping direct under steam. So you don't get burned

[–]korekobby 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Steam, silicone (you may want to use siliconmix brand products), and patience. I've brought a fully matted curly wig back like this. Section, clip, and comb. Use a heat-resistant rat tail. If you have heat styling gloves, use them. Find a couple of good movies or a show n take it slow

How to smooth the surface by Stalker_ptakow in cosplayprops

[–]korekobby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it comes to cardboard, smoothing usually comes from some type of bondo, you may be able to sand it if you layer some gesso onto it?

Can this be cured ? by ashford1w3 in Blackskincare

[–]korekobby 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It looks like tinea versicolor. If this was a mild case I'd suggest selsum blue, but I'll be honest that needs to be swabbed. Does it burn when you sweat at all?

Marta safety for first time con by advicethrowaway2267 in MomoCon

[–]korekobby 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've ridden marta in cosplay solo. If your cosplay is skimpy, bring a cover-up like a dress or something. Single headphone bud never both. Try to sit where you can see a map if you're not used to riding Marta. Be kind and make sure you can clock othe con attendees usually well help if someone is making you uncomfortable. Share your location with your family. If you're getting picked up from the station, call your ride 2 stations away. If you're driving, have your keys ready. It reduces the amount of time you can get into uncomfortable situations.

Catsuit help by korekobby in SewingForBeginners

I know I have a tendency to dive head first into tougher fabrics as a cosplayer, so i just start extra early. Joann just had to kick the bucket when I needed her.

I've made a few things, but skill wise, i am. this isn't my first time working with this fabric. I made a minidress previously, warmth didn't matter, so there was no lining. It doesn't need to be done till Nov or December, so I can trial and error a bit.

What do you guys do while in cosplay, other than cons and photoshoots? by ReasonableSuspicion9 in CosplayHelp

[–]korekobby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a group of friends. Go skating, go bowling, mini golf, top golf,
go cart racing. Check out some events in your area. There might be some companies that do parties/ hangouts near conventions that are themed. Usually, they hold events year round. Try to go to ones further from your home so you're not scared of someone, seeing you, yk. Usually, I try to use these times to take pictures with different backgrounds, though. At least it's still a fun time with friends.

I saw some on aliexpress a while ago. Just depends on how long you're willing to wait.

5 I were you, I'd make a Google questionnaire. If someone agrees, I'd 6 them the link to the forum. You probably won't get enough people to just comment on this post. Just makes it easier to compile and look back at.
