another question about fiberglassing..

When you fiberglass the inside of the helmet, wouldn't it pick up the pepakura flaps that connect the pieces underneath ?

Glueing the flaps is what holds the model together so I would figure it should work fine. I've never had any pull up on me. Or do you mean will the resin soak through? The glue provides a barrier but it is pretty thin and shouldn't affect the overall structure much.

Anyway you should be fine in either case.

I mean if there is a lot of glue on a flap(hot glue) and you go to fiberglass it, will that lump show up as a big bump in the fiberglass or will the resin create a thick layer that will cover all of the bumps of glue and raised flaps

 

[Sigma LS]

If you use cloth then yes, it will mirror the surface you put it on (still if you're talking about 1/8 inch or less it shouldn't matter much). Matte, I think will reflect it less.

You could add some Krylon clear coat sealer. It should prevent seeping through. I plan on using it as soon as I can find a walmart that has some in stock. e
