I believe you're referring to the code from sites like photobucket. Is this correct?

[mofioso]

just finished bondoing ill post pics when i can.

 

[mofioso]

should i have glassed the inside before i bondoed the outside?

As long as you did a coat of resin on the outside first, it should be fine. That is how I did it on my thighs. I would recommend going back and reinforcing the inside before moving on.

Usually it is best to completely harden the piece, before you start to bondo and sand.

Lovin' the helmet. Can't beat the original mk V. For future builds, paper or balsa supports help alot with distortion. I think I see a little bit of droop-age on the left side of the sun visor. Though mine did a little of that too even w/ support. Maybe it's just the file. But yeah, sweet job and keep up the good work man.

Yes.

You should also edit your posts instead of adding new ones all the time.

[mofioso]

hoping to have the materials to finish soon took a nice long break and a few problems arose i have learned to finish fiberglassing before you bondo or do anything else

 

[Shrubpig]

DO NOT put fiberglass on the outside. It will SCREW up your helmet. ONLY put it on the inside. And great job with the pep!
