Alternative to toxic fiber glasses.

Hi, I'm Ellamin, and i'm looking for an alternative to Fiberglass / Fiberglass Resin. I am new to the pepakura so but I don't have the equipment for Fiber glasses,. I'd also prefer not to use paper mache but, as it can be a bit more weaker then other methods, I'm sorry if this has been answered I just couldn't haven't been able to find something that is nice and sturdy to use instead of fiberglass. It has to be nontoxic, sturdy, and light. Please help me out

Welcome to the 405th!

Now, to answer your question - if you're looking for non-toxic armouring processes, you might want to consider abandoning the Pepakura route and going for EVA foam crafting instead. It might require a new learning curve, but the EVA process doesn't use any toxic or otherwise hazardous materials, as far as I'm aware.

However, if you're still intent on the Pepakura route, I would suggest something like Aqua Resin or other epoxy-based resins. Some Google research will show you more about those and where to obtain them.

You should take a look at Smooth-on products, they can mostly be used inside and, unless ingested, wont do you any harm. They have a wide variety of products so id take a look at their site. Personally, id still wear a respirator following the "better safe than sorry" principle, but they are substantially less toxic than fiberglass resin.
