Hi,
I'm totally new with polyester resin and fiberglass. I'm trying to make my Pepakura Judge Dredd Helmet, but have a few questions about polyester resin.
1- The guy who sold me the polyester resin added some cobalt in it, which gives it a bright blue color. Since the resin in all the build pictures I've seen so far was clear, I was wondering that it'd be a problem.
2- I've made 2 test coats before coating my Dredd helmet, but it still feels tacky after 3 days, even though I stirred both the cobalted resin and the catalyst vigorously. What may cause the tackiness?
3- The test run still smells like hell. Is it normal? Will the smell eventually go?
Thank you so much in advance!
