LoL Saz... I'll have to consider some of your instructions optional. :p But thanks for the help!

Okay, so, I hopefully I can bondo the bucket tomorrow. And yes, it's just regular bondo. The auto place I went to didn't have bondo glass, just fiber resin and bondo.

A long time ago (in a galaxy far.... just kidding), I talked about repositioning the bells on the vest. Well, I did:

Oh, and another question bout bondoing--there are bound to be many. I heard I should do the inside first to prevent warping. Yes, no, maybe? Can I cheat and just do the inside of the dome then the whole outside?

First you need to do a tribal dance around the pot, if you have a spare virgin to sacrifice to the God of Bondo, it's always good.

Next thing you do is open the pot and look for the hardener, should be in a tube.

Sacrifice another virgin.

Usually you will have to use the pointy end of the cap to pierce the metal seal covering the tube. Hopefully it will have given you a plastic spreader, if not you will need a flat bit of plastic, at a push a small ruler will do.

Dance naked in the rain.

Grab a piece of paper or card, scoop some of the goop in the pot onto the paper or card.

Shout "Ugga bugga wugga Woo!" to appease the God of Bondo, for he is a cruel master!

Squeeze a small amount of hardener next to the goop.

Win a limbo competition.

Mix the two together and quickly but thinly, spread the bondo over the area, you want to try do this as smoothly and quickly as possible.

Turn around, touch the ground, grab your crotch and go "He He!" (What? too early?)

When the bondo starts to thicken up, abandon it and start with a new batch. Make sure you clean your spatula/ruler properly as bits stuck on it will cause indents in the bondo.

Say "bondo bakes better" three times fast.

Go to the sanding stage when done.

you should add that to your tutorial thread Saz :lol: haha that cracked me up!

Are you going to fibreglass the inside? I know a few people who bondo the insides of their helmet, but never before fibreglassing them...

Oh, gosh, I didn't even think about that. C'mon, it was late and I was tired!

Like I said, I know absolutely nothing about any of this. Am I supposed to glass the inside? I am a newbie.

its a good idea to glass the inside, but I only put it in key area's... like the join points of the bucket to the lower half, and the cheek's/mandables.
Helps hold the weak points together.

I did! It prevented the paper helmet from getting wet from sweat and condensation! :)

Been going through your thread, CAN, and I find your armor to be very good indeed! I like it! :D

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?
