@BlotofBlood Both of them are songs by the pillows. I think crazy sunshine and something else. too lazy to look it up. Don't get used to them. I'll need to take them out of the video before too long.
Oh and you guys are kinda fiberglassing with just gloves on isnt it itchy? Ive never fiberglassed, just rondo, so i wouldnt know. but from what ive heard it hurts like sh**.
@Mgvjr Its itchy yes, but not terribly unpleasant. The gloves are mostly to make sure the resin doesn't get on you, if it does it tends to have a mild burning sensation and when it begins to cure it pinches the skin. DOES NOT RECOMMEND.
@Mgvjr i get all of my halo files from the Halo pepakura wiki. I'd post a link but youtube doesn't like that. Just google search Halo Pepakura Wiki, and it should be the first thing that comes up. Tons of files there.
Hey What kinda of paper did you say that you used in the beginning i couldn't catch it and using reg paper seems to not work as well. Also note for some people dint try to use form fitting Styrofoam it doesnt work to well,and cost to much this is a better and way to do it.
@kattra6420 Cardstock, I'll try and post a video of how to construct the pepakura files before too long, but i need to track down some good/cheap video editing software first.
Hey i was wondering is it dangerous to wear a fiberglass helmet i heard its toxic but idk if that meant only the curing stage or is the cured on dangerous too. Is it safe to wear a cured fiberglass pepakura helmt? id appreciate it thnx
the fiberglass RESIN is toxic while in liquid foam, because it fumes (evaporates). Once the resin has hardened, it is no longer toxic. don't eat it though.
@bowser1252 I haven't noticed anything, but the helmet is probably the one piece you could do without fiberglassing. I'm gonna be working on a costume for "The Darkness" that requires a face mask that I think I am gonna avoid fiberglassing out of paranoia alone. If i get a confirmed one way or the other I will let you and everyone else know.
Nice video, a question, When you fiberglassed the inside you first put a layer of resin then the fiber and then another layer of fiber ? or just the fiber then the layer ?
Resin fumes are extremely hazardous, short-term effects of these fumes are dizziness, nausea and skin irritation. Long term effects of overexposure can include nervous system (brain) damage, asphyxiation, and cancer related hazards. Wear a gas mask or at least work outside in a well ventilated area, not a closed garage.
@bilnabiln it wont stick to the table, but it'll stick to the foil. I have yet to find a good surface to resin on. I'll let you know if i discover one.
@oldmanz49@oldmanz49 Cardstock, the heavier the weight the better. And for whatever reason youtube won't let me post the link so google search "Halo Pepakura Wikia" and it should be the first thing that comes up.
@narutorendan024 I suppose you could, but there's no reason you should have to. Try fiberglassing your piece first and see if it needs to be stronger than that.
@GreenMapleStudios I figured it out. Turns out I wasnt cutting my strips long enough and when I would try to get to the middle with my brush, I would always screw it up. I'm going to have to cut out the mess up and re-do that part :D But this time it should be easier!
@HyperSniperCo Just remember that they don't have to be solid strips and you can lay them on top of each other, it's not terribly critical that everything on the inside of your helmet be flush.
@GreenMapleStudios Alright thank you :) I'm loving this project right now, and currently have most of my pieces painted. Just have to pep and resin a few more, and they should be good to go!
so i'm just getting into this sort of thing for making another kind of helmet, the fiberglass, what kind do you get? like what thickness and everything?
@TheWillRogers That's a good question, I use what is called Fiberglass Cloth, there's also something called fiberglass mat but I've never worked with it. As for the thickness, I'm not sure. I have another project I'm about to start on that calls for it so I'll let you know when I figure it out.
@GreenMapleStudios i'm makeing a daft punk helmet and just bought the fiberglass cloth the other day. the choices got much easier as i saw what the stores actually sold. everytime i searched online i only got big ol rolls of fiberglass insulation. are you intending on painting your papercraft helmet here and calling it good(apart from visor lol) or are you gonna do a casting of it?
You need a respirator. End of story. If you don't want to buy a respirator use something other than fiberglass resin, like Aqua Resin or Smoothcast. You can also try paper mache or foam.
Just remember to use a respirator, better safe than having cancer.
@TheFunnythings09 1)The fiberglass makes it solid, like a thick form of plastic.
2) Yes
3) I still haven't mastered the art of visor insertion. The one suit i finished I simply pushed it into place. The shape of the helmet kept it in place.
4) Yes you can wear it, and you only fiberglass the inside because if you put the cloth on the outside of the piece it will lose a lot of its details.
@TenebrusI07 I don't know why people are so hung up on this little bit. Yes it is a cheap face mask, unfortunately I do not make a whole lot of money. And I know I've said this before, but I'll say it again. There are no apparent health risks to being around the fumes, so its more of a comfort thing. The mask does prevent the odor from getting to you. After a while though you get used to them anyways, now I don't bother with the masks.
@freshbreath3 for your first question, watch the video, I say it. And no, I'm not familiar with the use of bondo, so I avoid it. It shouldn't be necessary if your model is high enough res.
@freshbreath3 first of all, don't yell it's rude. Second, the resin I use is called fiberglass resin, not because it has fiberglass in it, but because it is the resin intended to be used with fiberglass. Aqua resin is a different kind of resin, and as I believe I've said before, I've never used or even seen the stuff. If you watch the video, you'll see that I don't use fiberglass on the outside because it will destroy the detail. You'll also see an end result clip at the end of the video.
@GreenMapleStudios i don't know i have fiberglass resin but the other video said to use fiberglass resin meaning you fiberglass the outside i don't want to sound rude but can you show the result video
@GreenMapleStudios so it's just the generic fiberglass cloth size? because my old man had some i dug out of the barn, and it was thick as balls, and what you used looked like paper thin, thanks bro
hey, could you give me a link to the fiberglass and resin you used, i want to fiberglass some cardboard. and 10/10 on the song selection bro, brings back memories
@GreenMapleStudios what if i were to coat the cardboard with, say, wood glue first, or what if i glue some of the stuff you made the helmet out of on the outside of the cardboard? (what was that stuf again?) i really want the thick look of the cardboard, so i'd really like to make it work, any help would be wonderful, thanks bro
@GreenMapleStudios well, yeah, i guess it would, i might be cheap and just use rubber cement to glue card stock to it, not sure tho... thanks for the help anyhow, hopefully, it'll all work out for otakon
@Vadersown You get the the fiberglass resin and fiberglass cloth and hardener at walmart in the auto repair section. Pick up a cheap low/high temp glue gun while youre there too. And don't forget the respirator that is certified as protection again Organic Fumes, I got one at Lowes for $40
Halo is the worst game.It's storyline is just bad.I imagine halo as a not-so-famous futuristic world of warcraft.Which is why i cut up my helmet and used it as paper mache.And then cover it up in fiberglass resin and bondo.
@joealtair3000 Probably not, but your best bet is to buy a motorcycle visor and simply slide it into place, you can attach it if you feel more comfortable that way, but in my experience you can usually just leave it and the pressure of the helmet should keep it in place
@1zacster i'm not sure i understand the question, but resin tends to not be very flexible. I'm not sure of any products that behave in the way that you describe.
@BowKaiser ok this is exactly what you want to do resin the inside and out as many times as you want then cut each piece of fiber glass cloth or mat in to 3 by 3 squar's then get glue spray and spray the inside of the armor then put your cut peice's in it ounce it's dry resin the inside.. then its done and there you go sand it smooth getting all the shinny off it ok for each lid of resin add 18 drops thats how i do it and its good look up my videos kuckles12305 i dont use that account any more

@commandersem Elmer's Fiberglass Resin, I've seen other people use other products, but this is the one that was readilly available to me, and it wasn't all that expensive.
This is seriously one of the best pepakura instructional videos I have seen. You guys ROCK. Well done. Perfect presentation just before I head out to the store.
@taylorlaruehughes Its what I could afford at the time. Also, there's very little danger from the fumes, so the mask is more a matter of comfort. And, as I'm sure I've said before, its better than nothing.
good video, audio needs to be tweaked a bit though. I'd rather hear what you have to say rather than a Pillows concert (despite they're one of my fav bands).
hey wat if you cant get to the inside of your model (i made a weapon out of card stock and well its all closed up so i cant put the fiber glass on the inside) ... any tips on how to make it rock hard?
@kyle44422 I've never tried Diannatena's method, but i'll have to look that up, another method is once you have it resined on the outside, split it in two, prefererably with something that will cut it clean like a rotary tool, then fiberglass the inside, once its dry glue back together.
@zachcyko its just called resin catalyst, and you can probably buy some where ever you bought the resin. most brands of resin already come with a tube of the stuff though.
Is it ok to put fiberglass outside of the project or should i just make more layers of resin? im making a pepakura sword and i dont know how to harden it.
@Jeff00Boyardee I wouldn't. If you do, it will destroy the details of your model. If you do put fiberglass on the outside make sure you bondo over it and recreate the details again.
@IJackCarverI for the most part they worked, but its whatever you prefer. I'm a bit more resilient than most so for me it was more of a comfort thing. If you're working in an open air environment, like a garage with the door/window open, there's really no health concern.
did you put more the one coat of fiber resin on there? and should it look gray or yellowish brown when it drys ik the color probably depends on the brand nad im using bondo
@thief1111 No, its really not necessary to do more than one coat, and yes, it should look yellowish or so. Whats important is how it feels afterwards. If it hard, and not sticky (giggidy) then you're all set.
now i have a question for you will you go ahead and put a visor on it? and atop that how do you get the fiberglass to stay? do you resin than fiberglass than resin again? or what i dont understand.
@Evilgothicking the helmet i'm working on in this video is actually to small for anyone to wear, so no i won't be putting a visor in it. But yes, you resin first, then place the fiberglass down.
Could you please re-state what paper it is you're using. You didn't appear to put any fiber glass on the outside, is that correct? Perhaps you could caption your video, the up/down volume made it hard to hear.
is this hemlet made of simple paper or some kind of special paper?

@nemseimsm yes, you put a first layer of resin so that the fiberglass to stick to, then you paint a layer of resin over it so it has no where to go.

i used tape to hold the paper togther will still get the same results or will it not work
10dragon456 1 year ago
@10dragon456 The resin will melt the tape, I suggest going back and super gluing your model back together.

will u also show how to put in a visor
joealtair3000 1 year ago
@joealtair3000 Probably not, but your best bet is to buy a motorcycle visor and simply slide it into place, you can attach it if you feel more comfortable that way, but in my experience you can usually just leave it and the pressure of the helmet should keep it in place

thats a particle mask, is that good for fumes?
FutureLaugh 1 year ago
@FutureLaugh the fumes aren't that bad, so the mask is just a little bit more comfortable to work with.

Is there anything else like a plastic that hardens but remains slightly flexible? or do I just put more layers of resin?
1zacster 1 year ago
@1zacster i'm not sure i understand the question, but resin tends to not be very flexible. I'm not sure of any products that behave in the way that you describe.
GreenMapleStudios 1 year ago
@GreenMapleStudios Strong like if you drop it but slightly flexible so it has some give before it snaps?

Do you apply both resin and fiberglass to the outside and inside?
BowKaiser 1 year ago
@BowKaiser No, you only fiberglass the inside. If you fiberglass the outside, you'll lose a lot of detail.
GreenMapleStudios 1 year ago
@GreenMapleStudios But you resin both right?
BowKaiser 1 year ago
@BowKaiser yes.
GreenMapleStudios 1 year ago
@BowKaiser ok this is exactly what you want to do resin the inside and out as many times as you want then cut each piece of fiber glass cloth or mat in to 3 by 3 squar's then get glue spray and spray the inside of the armor then put your cut peice's in it ounce it's dry resin the inside.. then its done and there you go sand it smooth getting all the shinny off it ok for each lid of resin add 18 drops thats how i do it and its good look up my videos kuckles12305 i dont use that account any more

@commandersem Elmer's Fiberglass Resin, I've seen other people use other products, but this is the one that was readilly available to me, and it wasn't all that expensive.

taylorlaruehughes 1 year ago
@taylorlaruehughes Its what I could afford at the time. Also, there's very little danger from the fumes, so the mask is more a matter of comfort. And, as I'm sure I've said before, its better than nothing.

good video, audio needs to be tweaked a bit though. I'd rather hear what you have to say rather than a Pillows concert (despite they're one of my fav bands).
good job! :3

kyle44422 1 year ago
@kyle44422 make a little hole and fill it with smooth cast 300, theres a video on that: Halo Helmet - Casting Plastic into Pepakura
diannatena 1 year ago
@kyle44422 I've never tried Diannatena's method, but i'll have to look that up, another method is once you have it resined on the outside, split it in two, prefererably with something that will cut it clean like a rotary tool, then fiberglass the inside, once its dry glue back together.
GreenMapleStudios 1 year ago
@kyle44422 Fill it with foam. or resin the outside and then fill it full of rondo. (resin plus bondo) for more info go to 405th.com

@kyle44422 use a rotary tool, cut it in half, fiberglass the inside of both halves and then super glue them back together.

Hey do i need to resin my helmet all at once or do sertan parts so it doesnt shrink im using the cardstock
zachcyko 1 year ago
@zachcyko it shouldn't shrink, as you can see in this video, i do the entire outside of the helmet first, let it dry, then do the inside.
GreenMapleStudios 1 year ago
Just a tip, you could just cut the fiberglass before using it with the resin.. ^^

Going to fiberglass/bondo my helmet tomorrow.

what did you mix with the resin and where did you get it
zachcyko 1 year ago
@zachcyko its just called resin catalyst, and you can probably buy some where ever you bought the resin. most brands of resin already come with a tube of the stuff though.

Is it ok to put fiberglass outside of the project or should i just make more layers of resin? im making a pepakura sword and i dont know how to harden it.
Jeff00Boyardee 1 year ago
@Jeff00Boyardee I wouldn't. If you do, it will destroy the details of your model. If you do put fiberglass on the outside make sure you bondo over it and recreate the details again.
GreenMapleStudios 1 year ago
good effort on the safety but those are just dust masks your using you are suppose to use a carbon rated mask.
IJackCarverI 1 year ago
@IJackCarverI for the most part they worked, but its whatever you prefer. I'm a bit more resilient than most so for me it was more of a comfort thing. If you're working in an open air environment, like a garage with the door/window open, there's really no health concern.
GreenMapleStudios 1 year ago
did you put more the one coat of fiber resin on there? and should it look gray or yellowish brown when it drys ik the color probably depends on the brand nad im using bondo
thief1111 1 year ago
@thief1111 No, its really not necessary to do more than one coat, and yes, it should look yellowish or so. Whats important is how it feels afterwards. If it hard, and not sticky (giggidy) then you're all set.

now i have a question for you will you go ahead and put a visor on it? and atop that how do you get the fiberglass to stay? do you resin than fiberglass than resin again? or what i dont understand.
Evilgothicking 1 year ago
@Evilgothicking the helmet i'm working on in this video is actually to small for anyone to wear, so no i won't be putting a visor in it. But yes, you resin first, then place the fiberglass down.
GreenMapleStudios 1 year ago
Could you please re-state what paper it is you're using. You didn't appear to put any fiber glass on the outside, is that correct? Perhaps you could caption your video, the up/down volume made it hard to hear.
