So, I had decided to repair and refine my current Pepakura armor for a potential cosplay competition next year and I decided to strengthen and give more details for the existing armor.
Reading up online, I was noted a method of using something called Bondo and car filler putty to further strengthen and shape the paper+epoxy resin pieces, however, I don't really think Bondo is something common in my country and most hardware shops sell wood filler putty.
So my questions are:
1. Is it suitable to substitute car filler putty with wood putty?
2. Would it be easier for wood putty to adhere to the surface of the pieces since I already given a layer of spray paint on, would I need extra treatment on the surface before procceding?
3. Would it be just as easy to apply and shape compared to using car filler?
Thanks.
