I have this silly football hat I bought at a craft store, made of really cheap vacuformed plastic. (It is this one: Brown Plastic Football Hat)
I'm making it into a viking helmet, for Maude's "Gutterballs" costume in The Big Lebowski. (http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/_...alls/650px-The_Big_Lebowski_-_Gutterballs.jpg)
It's the PERFECT shape, but it has that football "texture". Once I have it trimmed to shape, I'm looking for something to pour or brush over it that will fill the pits to smooth out the texture (and maybe give it a little more rigidity, it's so flimsy). Does anyone have any thoughts? I was thinking about Bondo, but I was wondering if maybe there was a resin or something that I could just pour over it that might be self-smoothing?
