bondo over foam?

[patriot109]

So I built Thors and iron man's armor out of Eva foam for Halloween. It was enough to get the job done but I want to fix a few flaws and improve some parts. Is it possible to put like a then layer of Bondo or anything over it?

i just finich a ironman MK4 buil and i started of with foam and also wanted something more heavy duty so i added bondo it worked great except it cracks where ever there is stress

i found out if i added a layer or fiber glass resin to the foam before adding the bondo holds much better

here is a link to my build check it out and try it out

That came out nice. How much did it roughly cost to cover it in bondo? and was it worth it?

xrobots does work. but the point of foam is to flex. by putting bondo on it, you are going against its purpose. its a light fast and flexible build. if you want smooth and precise, do the paper and fiberglass.
many people bring this up and its always the same answer.
