When the resin is done and smooth, then you put the fiberglass cloth that is not resined (at the moment, just how it is when you bought it) on the inside (or outside) the helmet. Add like tape or Adhensive (Spray Glue) to keep it on the helmetJack said:
Then you put resin all over the fiberglass, I mean alot of resin, people said to have like 2 ounces of resin (thats alot) for it. Once done with that, let it cure (takes a few hours if in the right temperature) Then once it is completey dry and smooth (well somewhat smooth, you'll feel a bit of the texture form the cloth) It will be as hard a s a rock (Not really) *Oh yeah, don't forget you have to cut the fiberglass cloth into strips when your putting onto the helmet.
Resin...At least two of the resin products. I don't really know there are any other sizes for resin but one so yeah...SH_Jack said:
Fiberglass, you should get 3 packs of it (3 Fiberglass Cloths lol) You'll need it if your gonna add more layer of it on specific spots for it to be impossible to break or crack (like the butt lol)

Doesn't really matter what height you are, we are all gonna use the same quantity of everything. Even for those who have a bigger scale, it will only make a tiny difference.Hope this helps

It won't let me make a new topic. Why is this? It says an error has occured. The error returned was that you don't have permission to post a new topic in this forum. Why is this?

cut it with the sharpest scissors you can find. usually fabric scissors will work, although you wont want to go back to cutting cloth after cutting fiberglass.
the type of fiberglass available at retail hardware stores (home depot, lowes, etc) is relatively low quality glass cloth, and the fraying is something that you will just have to deal with. the easiest way to lay glass cloth is to lightly wet the area you're going to lay cloth in first, get dry gloves, lay the cloth and then add more resin with a brush. if you lay the cloth with dry gloves it keeps the stray fibers from sticking and then making a mess.

That works great. No worries. I live in Canada, which is basically the UK. we speak the same (without the accent though). We type the same, I say colour, honour and centre. And we have Staples too ^^, and that's the stuff that I bought.

I have another quiston ( sorry ). If you look at every budies mask they have a lines and pastics on there mask. How do you do that. (For example: master chiefs noise, it's not his noise, but it's a plastic thing between his chin and viser.

I am in school so I can't add picture now, but look at master chief's face at ( http://www.gameguru.in/images/halo-3-master-chief-1.jpg ) he has this pastic thing between his chin and his viser, how can I do that and when do I do that? Also the line on his mask it's from that starts a little above his chin and goes to the plastic tube thing ( I forgot what is called ). Thank you, you respond fast.

The link's dead so no help there.
And the difference between the two is a mystery to me. simply I'm not a advanced member^^. You'd have to PM a mod to help you there, go ask Adam.

I'd recommend to do the inside even though its a bit harderCrAzY CH13F said:
I'm not sure about the sanding but people said you will get this odd texture on your helmet from the fiberglass but if you bondo over it I guess thats ok but sand alot before doing that
When you mean sand alot, sand the fiberglass right?

I did a bondo resin on my mask and is dried, but the way it looks like is that if I sand it, it would go through the paper and make a whole in the mask. So what should I do. Also what type of glue I should use to stick the Fiber Glass inside of the mask.
