Fat head issues.

Post by JdousIRG »

Howdy all. So recently I was given a Royal guard helmet.. Fiberglass/resin. Issues being is, thus far it's a tight fit.
My biggest issues aside the tight fit, is the state it's in. I was fortunate to work a couple of years at a fiberglass company, as a fitter. Luckily, I still know what I'm doing, thus far.. Although, I've never worked with helmets like the Royal Guard, or helmets in general.

I've cleaned up the rubbish around the neck line without any drama's, but on closer inspection, at the V shape of the neck line, it would seem that its cracked rather badly. There are other cracks around other parts of the bucket. One of the biggest issues I've found, around the neck line, it seems as the fiberglass has separated.

I will be posting pics directly, so i can point out where issues/crack/problems.

Just curious, As to whats best to use to fix cracks and the like. Any particular way, I mean the norm would be epoxy resin.

Just need some advice.

Kudos. :tr:

Bondo is good for filling in the cracks on helmets.
