Halo armor tutorial - step 4 - resin the armor

[oONatetheGreatOo]

Should you use a respirator instead of a dust mask for those type of fumes?

[freshbreath3]

@oONatetheGreatOo

It doesn't matter, I'm outside so the fumes move away anyway

[OfficerRyman7]

@freshbreath3 yeah, goggles are better because they are plastic and lighter an easier to attach to helmet like using hot glue

[OfficerRyman7]

@freshbreath3 what would you use to cut the eyes off the helmet though? Wouldnt they be real hard after you used fiberglass cloth/mat, bondo, and rondo? Or do you cut it while its still regular paper

[freshbreath3]

@OfficerRyman7 use a rotary tool

[OfficerRyman7]

@freshbreath3 blue goggles are good, cut the strap off and attach the lenzes to the eyes of the helmet

[freshbreath3]

@OfficerRyman7 good thinking

[OfficerRyman7]

@freshbreath3 what did you use for the eyeson carmines to see through them?

[freshbreath3]

@OfficerRyman7 i was thinking about goggles or sunglasses to put in

[OfficerRyman7]

Did you do this with your clay carmine helmet

[freshbreath3]

@OfficerRyman7 yes

[freshbreath3]

@OfficerRyman7 also watch step 2 resin the armot part 1 - 4 to see the process of fiberglass resin and cloth

[carval51]

what is exactly acetone use for and in which part does it will be used?

so for rondo is other material than fiberglass cloth and we di`nt need to use fiberglass cloth if we already use RONDO?

PS:sorry for some mislangguage

[freshbreath3]

@carval51 I use acetone to get the resin off my paintbrush so i can use it again

and rondo is a mixture of fiberglass resin and bondo body filler

rondo = use 16oz clear cup - use 2/3 of bondo body filler and use 1/3 of fiberglass resin

mix it up until it's runny then add bondo hardener, the coller will change

but i use rondo to make the armor stronger, use rondo after you put fiberglass cloth, but it's your choice, rondo does make your armor a little heavy, watch the other videos

[MrWasabidude]

How many coats would you need to make it reasonably hard?

[freshbreath3]

@MrWasabidude 2-3 layers of fiberglass clofth

[roynickle]

this part on a helmet would be putting the fiberglass resin by the outside right?

[freshbreath3]

@roynickle yes fiberglass resin on the outside, don't put cloth on the outside or you'll lose all your details on the outside

outside = fiberglass resin

inside = fiberglass resin + fiberglass cloth: i recommend 2 layers of cloth

your respirator is a joke... this isnt against organic materials like figerglas resin. this is dangerous for you and your healthy
