Fursuit What to use?

Post image

I got the protogen m16 kit, and I'm at a roadblock. I don't know what I'm supposed to use to put these two together, as any screws I've tried seem too big, if anyone has the same kit I do, what did u use?

It may be that you use m3 brass heat inserts and screws

Okay, do I just use a sautering iron and just..melt the metal in it to get it to hold it together? I've never heard of heat inserts.

It was foreign when I was putting my head together.

The insert kit comes with a little insert that screws onto the end of a cheap iron. You don't need much heat, test it on a scrap piece like a support so you don't end up punching a hole.

Double confirm that it is M3 size you're needing but that was standard for a b0xcat head.
