Re: Doc's foam work + new piece to my repertiore
Hi, Doc! I want to say thanks to you for all these methods and tips, your contribution in foam building is just priceless... Can't wait to see your own suit complete! Just losing my mind while thinking how incredible your suit will be when you finish it
But let me ask you a question. Since i'm not living in the US or UK, and buying from ebay would be too slow, i can't get LET (local shops also don't have any). I can only get an urethane isolation lacquer. How do you think, will it work? Does LET contain urethane, or it is made from some other chemical stuff?
Once again, you're awesome. Don't stop surprising the community with all your wisdom

Re: Doc's foam work + new piece to my repertiore
thank dude
thanks man n vid below is of yours
Thanks Norton appreciate that bud and about the urethane laquer, is it a like a varnish? Im not to familiar bout that stuff but just try it on a piece of foam to test out n see how long it takes to cure, if can be painted over n if check if oil based or water based. If oil based I wouldnt use it cuz ya would have to paint with enamel n enamel on foam what Ive read gets bad results but I could be wrong. Dont be afraid to experiment. My process of painting isnt written in stone you guys can change or add/remove steps to get it to how ya like it. I just shared how I do it, goodluck

Re: Doc's foam work + new piece to my repertiore
Havent posted stuff in a bit so heres what Im working on and to my customers thanks for your guys patience. ya guys are awesome so here the helmet that I previously posted and thats almost completed. I think it coming out bad arse considering my first mark 42 helmet lol and short vid of customers gloves ready to be shipped. Going as fast as possible to fulfill everyones orders as perfect as I can get em. also if ya guys didnt know already the helmets fiberglass. To the foam builders I recommend learn fiberglass work its just better to be versatile. To be honest I really dont like to fiberglass/filler :lol but I can do it when needed got lots of autobody work experience which helps. This helmet is gonna have electronics so I wanted it solid.

That helmet looks really good. Are you going to be making a mold of it?

Re: Doc's foam/fiberglass work + some cool new stuff
Hey Doc, I'm going through your process with some pieces I'm trying to finish up and I was wondering, is the liquid electrical tape necessary to paint? I finished adding a few layers of Mod Pudge to some pieces and I was wondering if I can go ahead and paint with the SEM Flexible Primer or is the liquid electrical tape absolutely necessary?
Also, will any clear coat work or does it have to be that SEM clear coat? Thanks!
P.S.- Can't wait to get my glove!
