So, I've been working diligently on my Mark VI helmet for the past few days now and I have a few questions regarding electronics and fiberglassing. I'm sorry if any of these have been answered before, and if you could please link me to the thread where it's previously been discussed;
When I mentioned to my friend that I was going to need to use Bondo body filler and Fiberglass Resin after building my helmet, she questioned whether or not the helmet would be safe to wear after, in her words, "If that stuff is used for cars, can it really be safe to wear on your head?" obviously, many people have done their armor using bondo and fiberglass resin successfully without any problems, but my friend does have a point there.
Next, I am curious about where to place the helmet fan and what kind of fan would be the best to use in this case - will I have to worry about it getting caught in my hair, ect? Also, should I add the fiberglass cloth before or after installing electronics such as the fan or the LED lights for the sides, and where should the switches be to activate said electronics?
Thank you to everyone in advance!
