all of the hardware stores in my town don't have Bondo putty and fiberglass resin.. can you suggest anything else that I can use?? do you think starch would work well??

[xXBocephusXx]

@dreadmaster28 Sorry but I don't know of any substitutes. And I don't think starch would work well but I've never tried it so I don't know. Have you searched the internet for a substitute? There might be something out there.

[dreadmaster28]

@xXBocephusXx I searched the net.. all I found is by melting atleast 30 sticks of hot glue and brushing it all over the internal part of the piece. it works by I can't get the perfect round-shaped helmet..

@dreadmaster28 Well, I'm sorry but I don't know what to tell you.

[dreadmaster28]

so how do I make a visor?? and out of what material exactly??

[xXBocephusXx]

@dreadmaster28 I show one way to make a visor in my video called 'How to finish a raw cast' It's in Part 4 I believe.

@1mpulseS0D I don't either. I read somewhere that it helps so I put it in the tutorial but I don't even do it anymore.

[1mpulseS0D]

I don't really get why you put sand in the Vaseline?

for paint flakes, i hear that a light mist of spray adhesive and rock salt sprinkled on the areas work great as well.

@darthjero12 The silver isn't the primer. The primer was the black paint. I only added the silver so I could make it show through the final coat of colored paint so it looked battle damaged.
