I have a few quick questions.
My dad and I are going to build a mold, and we'd like it to be high quality. He knows how to do that, and has done it on many occasions. What I need to know is this. I have my 110lbs cardstock master chief helmet right now. Im going to put a coat of resin on it when I get home from work today to make it rigid enough to handle without it falling apart.
Now if Im going to go to the trouble of making a mold, should I use resin to harden it and sand it to the general shape I want, and then use bondo to make the finer details and sand that smooth and what not and then use that to make the mold out of instead of:
Cardstock>Resin>Fiberglass>Bondo>Mold
or
Cardstock>Resin>Bondo>Mold.
