Good start......add a few more thin layers and I would say yes to the visor. If you don't, it may warp a bit. You want to keep the helmet symmetrical.
I did one light layer on the outside, two slightly heavier layers on the inside, then fibreglass after that. You should let it dry in between coats so you dont weigh the helmet down before it is sturdy from the dried resin and it collapses. It doesnt take very long for it to dry anyway if I remember correctlyAlso, do I need to let the resin dry before moving on to another coat?
Interesting, honestly it'll work either way my dude. I didn't do any resin on the inside until I was putting in my fiberglass cloth. And then a slushed some rondo in there too.I did one light layer on the outside, two slightly heavier layers on the inside, then fibreglass after that.
You just sort of end up stippling them down. You down need to drown the cloth, but more just poke it into place with a fairly wet brushOk, I'll be sure to do that!
THIS SOUNDS WAY BETTER THAN WHAT I DIDFor my pep pieces I used spray adhesive to lay strips of fiberglass down and poured some mixed resin over top that I slushed around and let cure before going back in w/ a brush to stipple it down and get the strips soaked. The slushed layer helped the fiberglass stay when I lifted my brush.
I think PerniciousDuke is the one who gave me that idea(?), but it could have been someone else. Having trouble finding the build where I saw someone do that.
