Hey,
I am considering starting my own armor using cardboard and eventually move on to fiberglass or even cast metal. Reguardless I was curious if anyone has used a spray-on urethane to harden their cardboard model prior to applying bondo.
Next question...has anyone used a gel-coat for their fiberglassing before? I've seen videos online and it produces a really good glossy finish. Just didn't know if anyone had used it before. (Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSfftRVKwYY )
Also, has anyone produced a fiberglass helmet using a clay model? While I'd like to use cardboard, if I can work with clay and still be able to use fiberglass, that would be preferable.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
