Hey doc gotta say man this is amazing I'm currently making cog armor for my self and I was thinking of using this method for certain parts just one question if I don't use what you used to seal the suit can I just use white glue diluted? Thanks again for being so helpful bro the build is amazing gotta say every time I come on this site I'm blown away with what I learn next

Re: Foam Ironman Mark VII coated with rondo...small update chest coated and primered
Thanks man. To be honest I never tried diluted white glue so I couldnt tell ya, but Ive read that people do use it for sealing their foam.
I dont see why not as long as its sealed is all that matters, good luck
Thanks dude and yours came out real cool too
If ya need help let me know

Re: Foam Ironman Mark VII coated with rondo...chest painted up
I know it's probably been covered here and there and everywhere multiple times, but I'm asking only because I've seen differing things ...
You mix the Bondo and the resin on a 1:1 ratio.
Which catalyst/hardener do you use? I've seen some people say that you use the hardener that comes with the resin. I've seen others say you use the catalyst for the Bondo. I've seen others say you use both.
I would have to assume that, if you only use one catalyst or the other, the other ingredient (ie: the Bondo or the resin) still manages to cure so that it doesn't remain sticky or soft, right?
Is one way better than others? What's the 'preferred' method for beginners?

Re: Foam Ironman Mark VII coated with rondo...chest painted up
I'm Impressed, I have become a fan of the full foam suit with rondo method. I myself am still a cardboard medium guy but I do have a MK6 in foam I made and will rondo a piece of it soon to see how it holds up? Your suit is a true master piece so congrats for a job and time well spent. My advice for new guy's that try making a suit "Stop Rushing It". Take your time. I've seen some stuff posted that's plain horrible...The quality is garbage. Take your time and you will appreciate your effort and enjoy it more. So docholiday78 keep up the good work dude and set the bar for your rondo based suit. Keep building!.....:love

Re: Foam Ironman Mark VII coated with rondo...chest painted up
Thanks again MrBibou glad someones payin attention to what i write lol
Thanks Arrow
Thanks BlackDynamo! comin from someone at your level of craftsmanship means alot man
Thanks samurai, wow out of metal? awesome! cant wait to see that..
exactly what MrBibou wrote, just the bondo hardner cures slower, i tried them both by them selves and together and the best results was with just bondo hardner cuz it currs slower and not left sticky
Thanks again MrBibou

I think after seeing this thread, I might have to give up on Pep and try the foam method! One gets so tired of 643,237 folds...

Re: Foam Ironman Mark VII coated with rondo...chest painted up
lol yup alot of folding, thats the main reason I made this thread to show what I could do with foam and that your foam armor doesnt have to end up looking like "foam armor" it can look just as cool as a pepped one. Like I said before You guys dont have to do it with rondo the point is just dont be afraid to experiment and try new things which I ve been seeing more of lately which is awesome.

Re: Foam Ironman Mark VII coated with rondo, paint now smooth n shiny like glass
Wow, this is looking killer.. Really nice paintjob, your chest piece looks gorgeous..
One thing is troubling me though : the chest looks different on the pics. I mean, it looks like it's not a hard piece, almost like you could bend it.
Maybe it's just the angle but it looks quite soft but with a hard aspect, like a pep piece.
Anyways, it's a beauty.
