    Multiple Questions Up For Grabs!

    First, the only strapping tut video I can find in the forums has a link that doesnt work. Does anyone know where the video is or can anyone recommend another? Next, can anyone tell me a good website where I can buy the visor for my helmet? Also, is there a certain size I need to be looking for...

    Fiberglass Curing Question

    Thanks for the answers. I cant wait til spring because I am impatient and I wantz my costume now so I guess I will have to try something. I hesitate to add more catalyst because I end up wasting resin but I guess I will give that a shot first. If that doesnt work, what if I just put the space...

    Fiberglass Curing Question

    Hey again 405th. I have a good amount of work left to do before my big reveal to all of my nay-saying friends on Halloween. Im beginning to have problems with curing time though as it starts to cool down here in the midwest. Its taking a full 24 hours for my pieces to completely harden. Would it...

    Can I save my helmet with Bondo?

    While working on my helmet today I noticed a really big flaw on the back side. In the photo ( http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa432/Conor_Ellinger/first.jpg ) I have the problem area circled but its really hard to see. Basically the left hand side is raised while the right side is sunken...

    Starting my pep today

    I only started a couple of weeks ago and did the hand plates and the boots first. They only have a few pieces, are pretty straight forward, and allow you to get a good handle on what works best for you. Also, Cirkob5477 is 100% right about going for the LD build first. The HD stuff is no joke...

    Mark VI Chest

    I have done that and had no trouble with all of my other pieces but the chest is driving me nuts. As I get the the middle of the back or chest (building from the bottom up) it starts to get really difficult to work with because the two halves fall away from each other. If I try to build from the...

    Mark VI Chest

    Also, by build, I mean actually gluing the pep pieces together. Should it be able to stand on its own? -Geilheit

    Where do you go when you resin?

    I have been resining and fiberglassing everything in my garage. As long as the doors are open it isnt terrible. Anywhere with plenty of room and good ventilation will work.

    Mark VI Chest

    Can anyone recommend the best way to build the chest for ROBOGENESIS' pep files. I have all of my other pieces finished but for the life of me I cannot figure this out. Should I do it all in one piece? Resin and fibreglass and then glue them together? I am about to lose my mind. I looked around...

    Thanks so much, Flyerfye. That sentence made perfect sense, unless I misunderstood it. ;-p

    Warning: N00B Pep Questions

    I have all of my armor pieces pepped now and am about to begin resin-ing but I had two quick questions before I start: 1) Is it a problem that some of the hot glue has seeped out of the folds and hardened? Will the resin cover this or should I try to remove it? 2) Do I go straight to the...
