Duct it and Buff it: How long does it take to resize armor?

How long does it take to resize armor that you find as loot? (the guy was totally dead when you found him. really)

[Steve Geddes]

It takes an hour to repair a suit of Armor so I think I’d base it off that - I’d probably say 10-30 minutes to resize/reconfigure and “do it properly” but allow a temporary on-the-run resizing in 5-10 that would only last a combat or two (or enable a spacewalk).

In a tense situation, I’d deduct time based on the engineering check as players like it when being really good at a skill grants a visible benefit.

Pretty sure a rule somewhere said 10 minutes, but I could be misremembering.

I took a look through the rules and didn't see an exact length of time. I would use the timing for repairing armor as a maximum length of time.

Also, the armorsmithing engineering kit gives a bonus to checks to resize armor. Is it specifically stated that resizing armor requires a check and how to calculate the DC?

Adjusting Armor
If you get secondhand armor that wasn’t tailored for you, you can have it adjusted, which requires a successful Engineering check (DC = 10 + 2 × the armor’s level). Alternatively, you can spend 10% of the armor’s purchase price to have it adjusted by a professional—typically an armorsmith or anyone with multiple ranks in Engineering.

It doesn't list a time, unfortunately, so that's up to your GM.
