Tutorial: Using Bondo for Detailing

[SpireP26]

Hi everyone. I fiberglassed my helmet and now im looking for a nice technique to smooth it. But i have a question: does anyone now the spanish name or equivalent of bondo body filler? Because i have no idea where to buy it, modeling putty will do the same function?

Look for a polyester resin based body filler. Once you find one, its manufacturer or the shop that sells it will probably lead you to similar products.

When is comes to sanding the body filler, which do you prefer, dry sanding or wet sanding?

Bondo does not have to be the last coat of material. spot putty is what i use to put on the bondo. spot putty is to be wet sanded. wet sanding is magical and leves armor as smooth as a baby's bottom it is very cheap- around $7-8$ or less i think.

wet sanding definitely. much smoother. wet:___________ dry= _._._._._._._._.
