Re: foam with rondo+ brand new foam gloves

I put some rondo on one of my bicep pieces yesterday. I started to sand if and some cracking was going on around the curved back side. I added another layer today so what I wanted to ask is did this happen to you? And if so did the second coat fix it?

Re: foam with rondo+ brand new foam gloves

Have you tried to cut a rondo coated piece of foam to see if it cracks? Just curious, if I decide I want a moving faceplate.

Re: foam with rondo+ brand new foam gloves

Hey man is rondo always a little sticky when it dries? i used just bondo hardener the resin hardener and even both hardeners and this stuff will respond to sanding but will still take a fingerprint if i touch it

ya didnt add enough hardner, take a look at BSD pic above, it has to be that color and mixed good and I mean very good till your positive all 1 uniform color. and its not like adding hardner to rgular bondo ya have to add way more hardner for rondo

Thanks doc, yea thankfully nothings ruined it all still took a sand well. The stickyness was scary. I cant imagine adding more hardener lol I had like a 5 min work time I couldnt finish the back in in one run it got hard so fast. lol but who knows all brands are different and its a hybrid compound.
