nope sanding and applying body filler

Oh yeah, of course, I'm tired so I... am an idiot.

 

[crackhead09]

naw its just a optional step to the pepakura process so it can be skipped

[crackhead09]

Quick question, do you need the fiber glass cloth? and do you need the fiberglass cloth on inside and out. Oh, and one more, the way you did it you fiberglassed the inside and just resened it plain on the outside?
thanks

 

[LastSpartan]

You need fiberglass cloth to reinforce. The mainly used way is to 'glass inside.

But you can do it outside like CPU64 did, but if it's your first time with resin, I don't recommend.

 

[no0bProjeCT]

nice! never thought usein fiberglass!

 

[rvb4life]

$12 for a can of resin? great price....im gonna have to check my AutoZone out...


and is the bondo tut done?

 

[crackhead09]
