You would be astounded how strong just 1/4 of fiberglass is, like I said... get the S-glass (30% stronger). Have you checked out the thread on proper sizing? look through some of the posts, one of them gives directions/calculations on proper sizing by height. I like the mistake Idea, post a...

Look at the structure of a single quote before you post... you will see something like (I'll change it a bit to make sure it doesn't change. IE use "bracket instead of "[") "bracket"quote name='SparTom007' date='Jul 24 2008, 11:36 AM' post='198108'"end bracket" you can change the name, time...

That's what I love to hear... I know when I do it how much to use but I could never tell someone how much by weight... That's why I don't get why I'm hearing about putting 4 coats of resin on before fibreglass... Compared to fiberglass, resin adds little strength, increases weight, and decreases...

hmmm... well I looked online and did some calculations... I found the info here: http://www.tapplastics.com/shop/product.php?pid=13& ok, assuming that there are 25 mm in 1 inch that means that 11.3 layers of this specific cloth would be needed to achieve 1 inch. if 1 linear yard could canvas...

Hmmm... That's a good idea... I will need to get some sheet steal laser cut, and I guess a mini-MIG welder could classify as "hot glue" in a certain sense. metal prices are so high these days but I bet one of these puppies would sell for oodles of money on ebay.

Why not make 2 wearables and sell one? Same amount of glass, if not less, and Since we decided that a helmet unscaled and a shoe unscaled are about 2X the size of a normal human would we be looking at like 12' tall? Is it possible to use Pepakura to measure the surface area of a scaled MC? I'm...

I figured out that there is little information on the process of fiberglassing... I used to do alot of it when I did high power rocketry and I was thinking about making a topic on it because I think it's highly needed. First use the card stock print out method, make EXTREMELY precise cuts. On...
