Detailed review:

The new Anibild® foot joints are professional quality as standard. We have custom designed and built these feet to last over the strenuous rigours of armature performance.

Manufacturing our joints out of stainless steel means that they are stronger than any standard steel joint on the market. Stainless steel is very unreactive which also mean they will last a lot longer against corrosion in the foam baking process.

The stainless steel compound we use is a specialist magnetic formula. That’s not to say they can be used as magnets, but to say they will attract to magnets (like standard steel). This feature enables you to magnetise feet to set.

Joints can be brazed/silver soldered, ground/filled down (so make slimmer), cut, polished, painted and customised to meet the needs of your armature’s specifications. The matt brushed steel finish enables joints to easily adhere to paint, foam and silicone applications.

Please note that you will need Locite threadlock glue to make a perminant fixing off balls to threaded rod (not included) avialable to purchase here.
