Current Status - Rings inside the chamber has been unmounted and need to remount them.
During last week, we had the problem of waistband seal ripping. As of solution, we bought the neoprene glue that was recommended by our sponsors. We currently have two types of neoprene glue which can be alternative if the one does not work. Lastly, we got the news that our temporary mount of rings with tapes has fallen of and need to remount them. We have ordered the seam sealer and the vinyl cement to mount the rings.
Goals for Next Week.
Waistband seal testing - Test if the neoprene glue can fix the ripped waistband seal.
Mounting Rings - Remount the rings with sewing and cement.
