Non shrink resin epoxy question

[viewoptic]

I am looking for advice on which brand of non shrink resin fiberglass epoxy to use for installing 80gsm fiberglass cloth into helmet. Not sure if it matters much as the cloth will be more of glued in from one side vs. saturated in the resin epoxy. Any info is appreciated.

Is the helmet already painted? I'd be careful with how the paint could affected by the heat.

Yes its painted already

My advice...don't.

My advice...don't.

Im thinking a thin layer would be ok since it would be basically just to get the cloth to adhere on one side...

Just don't get anything on the outside!

Having worked with fiberglass on a few projects, it's very messy and you definitely need to saturate the cloth for various reasons. Follow the great Budafett advice and don't do it, let it be.

Paint the inside blue and call it a day!

I would still be weary, 2 part epoxy resin is exothermic reaction ... when it kicks it can easily reach 200F+
