Alright

Right now im not feeling overly confident to apply the bondo-glass :wacko

I was hoping that someone could post a few pics or show me a link to a thread that does show steps on doing so

That would be greatly appreaciated :cheers thanks

 

[Aden Kyramud]

Will do...give me a little time to get some pics and such...then I'll have a simple "how-to" for bondoing. :cheers

HEY THANKS A BILLION MAN!

Not to rush you at all but how long do you think it will take to get them up?

Thanks a billion again

[Aden Kyramud]

Update on my TOR thread...hope that helps some...if not, ask away and I will try and answer any question you have.

 

[Alpha 02]

THANK YOU SO MUCH MAN

Just one, How much is the hardener?

 

[Aden Kyramud]

a couple or three bucks...but you shoulda got some with the can of bondo...

 

[Alpha 02]

THANKS

 

[Aden Kyramud]

np vod. let's see some pics once you get some bondo slapped on there.

 

[Alpha 02]

Alright!

Will do im about to go do it now
btw how long is the process?

 

[Aden Kyramud]

The drying time or the entire helmet bondoing process?

Drying time: depends on the amount of hardener: I can get it to dry anywhere from 2 to 10 minutes

Whole process: I dont know...takes a while...but if you do nice, even coats now, while that may take longer than just globbing it on, it save far more time later when you have to sand.

 

[Alpha 02]

alright thanks

Ok i just spent an hour applying it (its dark now and im not completely down so i will finish tomorrow )

Just a few things i would like to point out
one, its really hard to apply it because the paper is so bendy (duh!)
two, im almost out of the hardning paste so i dont know what to do there
and three, IT SMELLS TERRIBLE

just felt like saying those three things
