We need some photos of your current setup and your dome mounting system. Is this an original or a modified recast of a Don Post Deluxe?
Are you using Velcro?

Hi guys! Very nice forum here, really! I´m looking for the best way to fix the Dome and the neckbrace @ my Don Post Vader helmet ( vinyl Classic). The Dome should not been blown away ( by wind or something) and the neckbrace should be changed by myself ( in Armor). Someone here some pix??? Thanks!!! |

It is the Don Post on the right. On the left is my Rubies helmet. Mod still in process. . I´d like to use Velcro but... If there is something that works better... 
Here is a newer pic of my DP:

I'm very confused. The unresolved link you posted takes me to a picture of a redhaired girl. So are you trying to make the Rubie's more like a DPCA? I don't follow. |

Old Picture, NEW link ( Look up to the first post)!!! Rubie's more like a DPCA? No. I´m still looking for a good way to fix my Dome/ Neckbrace @ my DP Mask. By the way: Is there someone who can tell me what kind of glue can I take for my new lensen??? |

Personally, I don't like mixing techniques for fiberglass/resin with plastic or vinyl. Plastic is a very different animal. It doesn't sand very well. Some people would rather a fiberglass cast instead and do the dome work. That is exactly what I had: with the Golden Armor kit at: http://thepropden.aokforums.com/goldena ... vt433.html I did an eradication of the mounting system and a baldification of the skull using an epoxy clay called Aquamend which is a fiberglass repair compound. However, as much as Aquamend may stick to certain plastics, plastic will outflex it and eventually you will lose the weld. I wouldn't advise harming the plastic. In fact, original condition Don Post Classic Action helmets are not easy to find nowadays. |
