its so bizarre how some folks have the problem and others have 0 issues! makes no sense as i've heard the identical conditions (rooms, light, temp) and some do crack and some don't!

Yup, absolutely strange. I live by a big sea in germany that flows into the north sea. Maybe it´s the air from the salt water...

i think more than anything it's the relative humidity in your house... mine seems to hover around 55-60%. but who the hell knows!?! lol

I live in the Houston tx area where it's always humid but I keep my ac at 68, all the time

Amazing set of shots from Endo. Here's a bunch of shots I've taken over the past month or so.
No grease, no cracks.

Thx, guys. And here we have Ryan, killing it again.

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

Beautiful shots, guys!

Mine cracked all to hell within a couple months. Might try some Mod Podge. Nothing to lose at this point. (Especially since nobody seems to be making any replacement domes.)

Temp and humidity in our house doesn't fluctuate much. I think the main culprit was HT using inconsistent batches of rubber ... WHEN THEY SHOULD HAVE JUST USED FRICKIN' PLASTIC.

(forces self to calm down)

But I'm over it.

(breathes)

It was years ago.

(unclenches fist)

Eeeeeeeevryting's fine now.

(eye twitches)

Yep....

 

[a-dev]

Rep has been distributed. Such a shame about the fact we have to worry about rotting rubber again because otherwise this thing is so good.

 

[DiFabio]

Yeah, I think the reason it's sporadic is because it was probably different batches of rubber like Bucky said. That makes the most sense.

Gummi Pflege AKA Rubber Care. Nothing with pledge in it.

The stuff is from german company Liqui Moli. Highly recommend it:

Lol my autocorrect is having a fun time

Thanks.
I remember something especially done for toy in little bottle.
You used this one on yours?

I started a project years ago for a dome replacement of the original ed.
Might do another but the thing with ed is that the figure is so big and expensive that not everyone has it.
And yu need it to do the replacement.

No problem, man.
Actually, I don´t know. I got this, because I needed it. He started cracking and he was already my second.

Plastic replacement, or mesh, or such?

 

[olbertfrog]

Plastic , resin.
Im going to discuss it with doogiedoc who is doing a great work with the terminator grenade launchers.
We.ll see
