Aiming to coat with resin tomorrow, how many layers do you guys recommend inside and out?
Resin the paper first. One thin coat of resin, you don't want it to warp. It's a good idea to reinforce the flat areas with popsickle sticks if you haven't already. After that one thin coat has dried, you can add another coat or two. I would still suggest doing them pretty thin to assure no warping.So I've got it ready, do you mix the resin and body filler or just resin the paper on the out first? What about fiberglass matting?

So, I can't find any relevant information anywhere on the internet about how they did the visor in the odst live action trailer. It has a clear visor, and the motorized piece behind it that is tinted. If you watch when he hit the ground in his pod his visor lowers. Can anyone help me figure out what they used to get that to work?
You should be sure to research all materials you use. Fiber glass can be hazardous. You should always wear proper equipment, gloves, and respirators when using this stuff. You do not want glass fibers in your lungs. Some chemicals because they generate their own heat can be self combustible. so be sure rags and solvents aren't left lying around or clumped up somewhere. All chemicals come with MSDS sheets you should read in full as well. Costume Safely!One more coat to go. And no one told me this stuff gets hot af. I burned my hand as I was about to dispose of the bowl.
