It is for filling in small holes and lines that would be a pain to do regularly with bondo. It is not ment for sculpting like bondo, and it doesn't get hard. Whenever you look at pictures of pepped helmets, it is the red stuff that makes the helmet look like it has a really bad case of chicken poxSo I bought this Bondo glazing spot putty.. what do you guys even use with this and for what? Can I use it in my pepped helmet?
I've looked a little around on the forums and I can't really find out when to use it or if why.
Thank you! Guess if I mess up my detail sanding I'll use this then.It is for filling in small holes and lines that would be a pain to do regularly with bondo.

Most people seem to use the airsoft padding, or upholstery foam, depending on what they have available.What do you guys use to pad the insides of your helmets? I was thinking of buying either some $12 bike pads or $25-30 airsoft helmet padding (amazon for both)
If you want to be cheap and don't really care , use dollar store sponges. I used that for my son's Mini Chief suit. For my bucket I used airsoft helmet pads.
Thanks both of you I think I will use airsoft padding.Most people seem to use the airsoft padding, or upholstery foam, depending on what they have available.
Hmm maybe I'll just get the airsoft padding and cheap bike padding to fill the space so it doesn't float aroundhe4thbar I glued the same nylon strap into my helmet that I used for strapping the other parts of my armor, and added a buckle. Honestly though, I hate the whole chinstrap system and will 100% be doing padding on this next build. It's too much work to take the helmet on and off. I've seen people just do their padding well and the helmet doesn't float around at all.
There's also some green foam I've been seeing at Joannes/Michael's that's super thick, and super soft. I was going to look into using it myself and then simply cutting it down to the size I want so it fits perfect, and wrapping it in some cheap cloth. I'm not sure how much it is, but I believe it's less than $20-30. I'm not making my helmet for quite a while yet though, so lemme know what you doHmm maybe I'll just get the airsoft padding and cheap bike padding to fill the space so it doesn't float around
Hey thats the same one I had on my wish list(the US version) haha!Amazon was the only way to go.

For my helmet I used some old bedding foam. It stays really cool to the touch and is very soft/squishy. If forms around your head and is stiff enough to keep it in place. I also added an elastic strap for the chin but it was not necessary. Just a precaution.What do you guys use to pad the insides of your helmets?

Do you have a link for these? These look different then the "tactical" padding I've seen elsewhereI used airsoft helmet pads in mine. Bought a chin strap but never installed it. Helmet fits fine without it, although might add some more foam at the crown of the helmet to raise it up a bit more.View attachment 276226
