If you need advice on fiberglassing, well I think I can help. I want you all to know that I am 14 even though my profile says otherwise my mother wouldnt allow me to put my real age, but because I'm 14 I realize this way may be lazy and its not the way the better builders do it. But this way works for me and im happy with it.
Whenever I fiberglass I start out with an outside basecoat that has the exact ratio of hardener to resin. I apply it to the outside and let it sit for a couple hours after that I do the same process over again. once I have two coats (this is were it gets messy) I mix up a large batch with about 1 1/2 times as much as your suppose to use. This makes it dry much faster and I slush it around on the inside of the helmet trying to cover everything evenly.
Everything should be nice and hard (thats what she said) and it should be just as detailed as before, and hopefully it did not warp.
The only thing I'd watch out for though is the smell. The smell of fibreglass when your wearing the helmet is pretty bad, but that can be conquered by a couple buckets of frebreeze.
I actually am encouraging you to share your knowledge. I WANT YOU! THE READER to post on your fibreglassing tips and methods below.
