Hey Guys!
I have a full body armor project coming up, which is going to need either a whole chunk of smooth cast, or fibreglass.
But to determine which way to go I'm asking anyone who has worked with smooth cast about its properties. (It's easier to ask here than to get it shipped from overseas to test it out).
Normally I would use fibreglass, but Im wondering :
1. Practical strength of smooth cast? - Does it warp and bend easily once set / Can it be reinforced with a builders bog layer over the top (I normally cover FG. with builders bog as its safer to sand and easier to patch surfaces.
2. How far would a 1 gallon bottle go? Aiming for a solid cover that does not warp.
Thanks heaps for your advice guys!!!!
