Ok, this is slightly tutorial but the question was raised as to how to do the FG. Being the sharing dude I am, I will post the PM that I sent to the one with the question:
PS. The FG turned out awesome!
I have had a little experience now so I can share with you.
If you have gauntlets from Ruffkintoys, they are made from styrene and will warp with heat increases so you cannot use a urethane resin for the FG you need to use an Epoxy Resin. Preferably a cold cure but all of them have thermographic properties.
I found a Fiberglass Supply house here in Detroit that I was able to get my supplies from.
I used a 1-3 ratio Epoxy that is 1 part hardner to 3 parts resin. I just measured them out in cheap dollar store measuring cups. I mixed them in a large paper cup and used a glue brush which looks like a small paintbrush with a metal handle to paint the epoxy into the inside of the gauntlets. They are cheap. Cost like $1.50 for 5 of them.
Now, you only have about 15 minutes of workable time so you have to be sort of quick. I already had my Fiberglass cloth cut into strips so that I could lay them overtop of the epoxy. You then take the glue brush and sort of use a tapping motion to get the epoxy to soak into the cloth. Paint a little epoxy over the top of the cloth as well making sure you get all the little nooks and crannies. You don't want air bubbles so even after the epoxy sets up in your cup, the epoxy on the cloth will be tacky and still setting. spend the rest of the time tapping down the bubbles with a popsicle stick and or the brush until it sets up. Let them sit overnight so that they are nice and hard and then you can trim it all up.
Hope this helps.
