I'm not giving her a hard time at all, I just know I need to run when she starts swinging handcuffs about! Besides, Adonian has a whip fetish as well, you know, I'm starting to wonder if this is a building forum I joined or an S&M party! :)

I blame Kal!

Anyhoo, back to the question at hand, if you glass the inside then it will become internally strong, I use FG to reinforce my resin buckets, won't stop an impact crack, but will stop it from shattering. It's not really needed on cardboard, but it's a solution if you don't want to spend forever sanding the outside.

Yes, glassing the inside is something you will want to do. It's really simple:

My last post has a great tutorial on fibreglassing a helmet.

Adonian, you dont glass the whole thing? do you do the dome?

sorry for the lateness of the response, I was FORCED to go to Disneyland again ;)

Yeah, I glass the dome, then the connection of dome to face, and then cheeks and anywhere where there is a 'joint' between parts.

LoL, people! You crack me up. :lol:

And thank you for all the comments bout the armor. I appreciate it! :D

So, I have a soccer game tomorrow and I'll be near an auto place. I'll try to grab some FG resin and mat--I want that, right? The mat stuff--and if I see some bondo-glass I might as well grab some of that too. I'm on fall break right now at school so I get a 4-day weekend: to work on my armor!!! But I gotta get some FG first.

I took more pictures of the bell for ya'll:

If that has your approval I'll put the other one on too.

Yup, that's looking much better!

Mat is thicker, you can get fiberglass cloth as well, if you want a thinner interior, the cloth also doesn't have frayed or ahrp bits at the end of the cast either.

Awesome Ord'ika! What saz said is correct; it really doesnt matter which you get, it's all preferance (whatever is cheaper. ;) ). And do you have a resporator? if not, you need to grab one of those as well...(y)

:cheers

Thanks for all you help people! It's been really...well...HELPful. ;) :p
