Jordan you just said the same thing in both posts..

Yes, return the stuff that you didn't mean to buy, and go buy the stuff that you were supposed to get.

Chitown doesn't have a Lowes, or a Home Depot, or a Pep Boys, or an AutoZone, or an Advance Auto Parts?
I find that hard to believe... any of those stores carry it.

 

[Jordan Roajs]

i'm guessing it does because i go there everyday and nothing except pepboy and homedepot

 

[Macattack64]

This is the stuff... notice that it says with hardener and also is rectangular

 

[Jordan Roajs]

finally i bought the right iteam next stop pepboys for some spary paint any tips on the paint wat kind i should use any way i will start glassing tomarrow finallyz

 

[Sean Bradley]

Good Jordan, thats the right stuff.

If I were you I wouldn't be so worried about paint right now... you're going to have to put in a lot of time sanding before you're ready to do any painting...
but when you do get to that point.... just regular spraypaints will do... with a coat of sandable primer first.

You know that you don't need to buy all the items before you start right? Buying it all at once adds up fast... it might be a little more affrodable to buy stuff as you need it... and that way you have more time to decide on color, and such...

ok so i was glassing yesterday and saw this crack on it, i think my brother did this any way on how to fix and is the glassing ok for a beginers and do i glass the inside??!!!!

 

[mark]

yes you glass the inside of the piece after your done resining the outisde and yes the crack can be fixed during the resin or fiberglassing stage

 

[Jordan Roajs]

[andrew0916]

okay kind of a noob i ned to know every thing i ned to make armor and weapons and how to make it

 

[drgon47]

Okay, well, at least you didnt make a new topic for something thats covered in almost every single sticky that lives at the top of the section of the boards. But, using someone elses topic to post questions reguarding your own armor building in is not nice either. This is considered off topic from the original thread. There is also a Search button. Just type in a few key words like, Material, Pepkura, Cardboard. Easy stuff I know.

 

[Jordan Roajs]

[Macattack64]

Might want to make it a little bigger... Just use the scale of your helmet minus 1... :\...
