padding articulated elbows

[daithi]

I've recently acquired a pair of 3/4 arms. I've never had articulated elbows before. I will be pointing these to the sleeves of a linen foundation garment. What I am curious about is, do articulated elbows tend to "chew" padding/sleeves beneath them via the lames? Is this just me over thinking the concept or should I take measures to ensure my linen sleeves don't take more than the normal abuse.

Polishing contact edges and rivet faces inside helps. So does thin leather/suede arming point reinforcement. If all else fails mount leather arming tabs on the plates then point those to the arming cote. Padding inside articulation is tricky.

I've only experienced light "chew", on both steel arms and legs, and I think that was mostly due to the rivets, as Kel mentions.
