idea

hey i was working on my helm and i thought of a interesting idea what if you do a light resin coat just to the the paper strong then sprayed the inside with that insta foam stuff tehn make a rubber overmold to make a harden plastic version of it instead of useing many coats of resin. but it was just an idea i don;t know if the paper would hold or not but i might try it

Sray Foam will not get into all the cracks and stuff easily and if you didn't bondo it it wouldn't have much detail.

Spray foam = BAD IDEA

printer paper = WONT WORk

Gotta read the stickies

The stickies say to use cardstock and they show how to resin and fiberglass, much easier than using spray foam and hoping it works, we know resin works

What they said, lol

Also, I honestly don't think applying just one layer of resin/fiberglass would make it strong/durable enough. Granted, I'm not going that route with my own helmet, but that's my take on it...

1 layer of fiberglass if covering all areas inside will be enough to just wear, but I'd suggest 2 layers so you know it is durable.

1 coat of resin inside and outside, fiberglass the inside and glob resin, fiberglass inside with second layer, then resin the outside again, bondo, sand, paint.
