Okay, so I'm slightly new here. I say "slightly" because I haven't finished any piece of armor yet, but I have spent many days reading through the forums and learning as much as I can. When deciding on my first project, I decided to do a Master Chief Mark VI helmet and just the helmet. That failed because I pepped it with normal printer paper and scotch tape, which I found out later is a recipe for disaster in the next step.
Now I'm doing an ODST helmet with 100lb card stock paper and rubber cement (which is working nicely compared to my first attempt). I'm not finished pepping the ODST helmet, but I want to plan everything out instead of making it as I go so I'm looking towards the next stage: resining. The only thing I can't figure out right now is the difference between resin, fiberglass resin, and Bondo fiberglass resin. I'm guessing the fiberglass resin and Bondo fiberglass resin are just a combination of each one but I could be wrong.
I was at Walmart the other day to search for supplies and resin and the only thing I could find was Bondo Fiberglass Resin. The main questions I need to know right now are:
1. Is Bondo fiberglass resin a combination of all three?
2. And would this be okay to apply to my helmet once I finish pepping it?
I plan on making the rest of the ODST armor but I'm focusing on one thing at a time here.
