I tried my hand at resining last week on the chest piece and stomach piece before doing the helmets. The chest piece feels nice and plasticy now. Walmart had a fiberglass resin kit that had the resin, hardener, and fiberglass cloth in it, which is perfect for starting out. I think the fiberglass cloth it comes with is perfect to do two helmets. I just need to buy more hardener later.
I did the two helmets today (since I didn't have to go into work), but just the outside. I might fiberglass the inside on Saturday if I'm not feeling too lazy. I decided to finish the helmets first rather than pep everything.
I was wondering how well foam brushes work compared to bristle brushes. I bought a pack of cheapo brushes that came with the foam ones too, but I've used up the bigger bristle brushes.
Excuse me while I pick and rub off the resin on my legs and arms. ):
