Hi all. Pretty much a noob here but have been making good progress over the last few weeks on my first helm with pep and 2 coats of epoxy resin on the outside.
I'm now at the fiberglass stage and have glassed the inside. All is looking great and holding a good shape and is pretty tidy.
My question is how many layers of fiberglass do most people do to make the helmet form really solid? I've done one layer of fiberglass cloth and resin on the inside (2 coats of resin on the outside) but the shape is still a bit wobbly. Should I just keep layering it until it is firm enough or is that not necessary? Will the bondo sort all that out?
Also, I'm in the UK. What are you other Brits using for bondo? Something like a Isopon P38 seems easy to get hold of. Is that the right stuff?
Thanks!
