Ok so i'm just about done with my first pepakura and i wanted to make sure i was going to be doing the next step right after putting so much time into it.
I know the difference between resin, bondo, and rondo as well as poly vs epoxy but there are a few things i've seen differing instructions on and I want to know if as of today there is a generally accepting "best practice"
1) Someone said don't do an entire coat of resin at once because it will weaken the structure instead divide it into sections, however from what i've seen this applies to large objects like chest pieces, not a helmet correct?
2) Both epoxy and poly heat up and can stress the paper foundation if done carelessly?
3) Only mix epoxy based resin with epoxy based bondo, and poly based resin with poly based bondo right?
Any last advice? Thank you. Picture attached
