Fiberglass & Sintra Question

[Halo 1]

Howdy guys,

Just a quick question on how well or not, will Sintra react to Fiberglass? I'm talking about armor molds here.

Sintra Armor = FG Process = Fiberglass Armor.

Will it work or not at all? Reasons? Opinions?

Thanks for the heads up. I really appreciate the help.

Stay safe.

If you're talking about reinforcing sintra w/ fg to make it stronger, I guess it would work. If you put fg on the outside of the sintra, you're gonna have a lot of filling in to do w/ bondo. Or are you thinking of using sintra as a mold, and pulling a fg copy of of it? If so I don't think it would work. Once the fg hardens, it's gonna be tough to pull it off w/out destroying your sintra. I say make your original out of sintra, get some latex or invest in some silicon RTV. Make your 1st mold, and a 2 piece plaster mother mold and your makin' fg armor!
