It was a picture of a cat with text that said "This is relevant to my interests" above it.

Putty can be porous, but not necessarily, and I just prefer glaze because it is self leveling and seams to produce less pin holes...
Newest Helm pictures... there are still many rough spots not to yet my approval, but I am getting there...

Is this stuff cheaper then bondo?

Google the prices or check your local auto parts store website, The glaze I use in Evercoat Metal glaze which is about $25.00 for 30 oz. It does adhere to the resin if you sand it first... and I am not sure which Bondo product you are referring to. One 30 oz bottle should get me through half of my armor, if there is not much wasted...

The thing about just sanding away the edges is that underneath the outer layer of resin is a layer of paper, once you sand into it it tends to show up in paint. The paint soaks into the cardstock rather than covering it and you will have "funny" spots all over the place from the edges you sanded off, you could seal the edges again before painting it, but I still think you are better off with the method I use to end up with a molded look on top of a pep Helm...
When I am done, I hope people will be asking me where I bought my armor..
I am doing it by this method to get an accurately proportioned armor, and at some point in the future I plan to mold my helm...

After reading the post, I havn't seen how you actually apply it. Is it actually a "Paint-on" like the fiberglass resin, or do you spray it on? I saw pump mentioned, and thought it may be like one of those weed killer pump-the-can and spray. Either way, I think I'll return my bondo and get some of this. Really REALLY nice job

Metal Glaze is just the name of the product, it works on fiberglass... it just prefer to use it over putty...
It is about the consistency of molasses
Yes you still have to sand it after you apply it....
I applied it with a flexible plastic putty knife..
Its neither "paint on" nor spary on, its more like..... umm.... smear on lol
