Resin Questions

How strong is just the resin itself? Say if i have a pep helmet finished, and i dont have the dough to buy fiberglass right now will the resin be sufficient to take a light beating? Any comments on this are welcome.

No. The resin makes it hardish, but it's still flexible

When you resin a piece on the outside and inside with just a couple layers,

It's just a lil bit stronger than a kids costume helmet.

It's best bet is to collect dust somewhere while you get more money to glass it.
