Well, here are some tips to make fiberglassing neater and quicker. These will all be included in the tutorial I will post (Before Halloween)
Tips:
1. Fiberglass the inside of the helmet/armor. You keep detail that way, and it is structurally more sound.
2. Use Krylon Spray Adhesive to attach ALL fiberglass cloth to armor BEFORE resining. This way nothing slides and you get it all neat. Just lay the piece of cloth on the ground, do a two second spray coating the whole side, then let get sticky for about 15 seconds. Position in helmet, adjust, then smooth into dips and edges with back of (gloved) pointer finger.
3. When your gloves get too sticky from the Krylon, change them out for a clean pair.
To clean up the mess of bits of fiberglass cloth, give a gloved hand a spritz of adhesive, then use hand like a cloth. When the hand isn't sticky, spritz again. Then pull glove over its self to keep mess contained!
