Update:
I've been stressing over what to do with the edges. They were pretty rough and you could see card stock, fiberglass, bondo and gray board all stacked up. I've been trying to figure out how to make that thick layer of bondo on the mask detail hide all of that. Well tonight, I was watching another RPF'er video of a fella making a Captain America mask and on his edges, he glued strips of paper before he did his resin. Brilliant! I didn't want to do paper so I decided to attempt with tape, and then a thin layer of resin. I"m hoping I don't come out in the morning and find it all laying in a pile. I only had blue painter's tape and that doesn't always stick the best. The resin seems to be holding though.
