Hey guys,
So I've done a bunch of research on what materials to buy to start molding/casting my Iron Man Mk VII helmet, but all the videos I find of people using some sort of fiberglass gel/resin for the casting don't mention what brand or type it is.
ProjectEarth mentioned he used this:
1st layer --> Colored gel-kote
2nd layer --> Non-sag Polyester resin infused with milled fiber
3rd layer --> fiberglass saturated with polyester resin
Does anyone know what type of coloured gel and brand name of polyester resin, etc... I should get for all of these? I can get anything from Smooth-on, I would just like to know what's a good one to get?
I tried contacting ProjectEarth but he seems to be away right now. I'm hoping to pick up my materials before the weekend.
Thank you!
