Nice ears, but they still look a bit on the rough side. :facepalm
You could easily clean and tidy them up by using some cereal box cardboard to cover over top of the exposed foam. It'll make them look a ton cleaner and it'll protect the foam from melting when it comes time to spray on the primer. ( the propellant in spray cans eats foam. )
Yeah, I thought about that. I tried a test piece with clear coat spray paint and that's exactly what it did. I actually thought of using more of my sign plastic as a cover. My only concern is that they might "grow" a little.
Unfortunately, I have another marathon work week ahead of me and I won't be able to do much of anything until later in the week...:cry

Hey! I think I recognize that green in-progress helmet shape in the background from the RG site. Looking forward to progress pics on your mando lid here.
Now I engage safety mode and ask about the respirator on your helper... please tell me you make sure it fits on properly when he's there with you - or if it can't be made to fit that he's not present when you're using the stuff. ????
OK, now I disengage safety mode and go back to the topic. What do you plan to use to smooth out the f'glass with? I've had good results with 40 grit sandpaper - and elbow grease. Lots of elbow grease.
The fiberglass kits might also be with the boating stuff... But... I always find it in automotive. To save time and hassle just hit a place like Advanced-Auto or Pep Boys. They tend to carry both.
