Mando crest panel lines - help!

[dreadpyrat]

Hey all, working on my fiberglass Mando bucket and managed to sand away much of the original panel lines on the crest. I'm trying to rescribe them (after filling what's left of the lines with Bondo Spot Putty) using a strip of stock brass as a guide, and a Tamiya panel Scriber, but the blade keeps seeking out the original grooves and the results are messy and terrible looking. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I hate that they are wavy and there are spots with multiple lines...

Any advice is GREATLY appreciated!

I had the same exact issue with my 3D print, and I decided to get a resin cast from a different seller. I'll definitely follow this thread as well if a solution is posted.

Hey! Got a similar thread going over on the Mando subForum at Dented Helmet if you want to check that out. PM me if you need a link.

Try filling a section of the scribed line with CA glue and then sprinkle a generous amount of the same fiberglass resin dust you sanded...that is if you have any left. Try other resin dust if you don't have the original dust. Bondo is relatively soft compared to the fiberglass resin so that's why your scribe line keeps finding the old line.
