I'm in the process of scratch building a helmet with 2mm thick cardboard, and I was wondering what you guys recommend as far as using fiberglass, or if I should just stick with body filler. I'm following Raf's v1 template and i'll probably go with the ESB layout

Fiberglass is stronger and lighter.

+1 fiberglass on the inside is pretty much required for cardboard builds

Thanks guys for the quick replies

For sure with the fiberglass. Would be a shame to spend that much time and effort shaping and sanding to not reinforce it with the proper material.
