How To Prep A Goalie Mask / Helmet

Рет қаралды 25,970

Күн бұрын

In this video I show the process on how to prep a goalie mask or helmet. This is an in depth look with lots of great tips and a thorough guide of what to do and what to look for when prepping a goalie mask, and the same rules apply to most any helmet as well.
I start with disassembly, go over how to mask a goalie mask with the foams in or out. I tackle a big subject of what to do with safety stickers!! And the final step, sanding and scuffing the mask. I feel like this will be one of the most concise and thorough how to prep videos on KZfaq so I hope it helps!!

With an older mask like you mentionned where the foam is glued to the mask... what would you use to remove the glue ? Thanks ! Trying to give a second life to an old mask :)

@@Kreug11 well heat definitely helps soften up any adhesive, So would definitely give that a go. Any left over glue residue you could get off with Final Wipe or some other variety of wax and grease remover. Are you needing to salvage them? or will you replace the foams?

@@Kreug11 IPA (Isopropanol or Isopropyl Alcohol sometimes works to remove residues of glue or paint - it depends on the glue. It doesn't necessarily need to be the 99% pure stuff either - the sort with a bit of water in it, or adding some to the purer stuff (say, 70% IPA), sometimes works better. I've used it a lot for model making, in the past. I use the pure stuff to clean my brass instruments, (trumpets, etc) or instead of hand gel :) A little spray bottle works well for that. There are some materials, especially plastics, which can be softened ("melted") by IPA though, so always test a small area first. Cleaning the top of my LCD monitor with it didn't go all that well :) Petrol or even kerosene, can work too, but it's more likely to damage the other materials. Citrus based cleaners, like orange oil - pure or diluted a little, can be surprisingly effective, and are much safer to work with. Diluted IPA, say 50:50 with water, works well as a "positioning fluid" for self adhesive decals and transfers - provided they're water proof and the colours are reasonably solvent proof, like vinyl ones. Decals are generally not a good idea for helmets though - they can weaken motorbike helmets, apparently - the glue sometimes eats into the surface. #masks4all or #nomasksatall

Can you please address and recommend in the next video a primer/sealer when using water based paint because I know you’re into the solvent based paints. I’m using water based and a bit hesitant on using solvent paint because I’m a beginner. The most confusing thing when trying to educate my self online is the different opinions on using solvent based primers with water based paints! Yes you can. No you can’t. It’s exhausting 🤔. In the end I just wanna do what JBo would do if he were having to use water based paints. Thanks so much for taking the time to educate us beginners!!

Awesome man, and a great point. Yeah I've been thinking this because I use solvent but most people do not, so the best way would be to show both as options.

Also, if I have printed images of what I want to put on the helmet, how do I transfer that onto the helmet so I can cut out the pieces?

Hey sorry for the delay, this comment musta slipped past me! So for pressure I use a bit but nothing crazy, I would say just experiment, obviously more pressure you will go a little faster, but I generally don't press TOO hard and let the sandpaper do its job. Yeah blocks work great but helmets and masks just aren't flat surfaces so I find they're not great for that at all but a soft block you could get away with, but I don't even bother.

@stevehepburn5094 4 жыл бұрын

Very thorough video. About the stickers: As soon as the surface is altered the CSA certificate is void. To maintain it you would have to send a painted mask to CSA and have them do destructive testing on it. You would then have to guarantee the same paint, process, etc. every time to keep certification. The other way is to get written consent by the helmet manufacturer of what paint to use. But they won't because they have their own paint departments. I chased a few for months. Only brand that gave me a pass was Calcoat out of Quebec (not even sure they're still around or not). All they said was "Use a paint designed for marine or automotive fibreglass and gel-coats". Pretty vague. I would just tape the sticker over, paint the bucket, uncover the sticker. To the ref he couldn't tell if it was aftermarket paint or not: he'd just look for the sticker. As for the customer, I had them sign a waiver acknowledging that the CSA certification was now null and void. Great video. I am definitely going to look for your painting tutorial to compare to what I do. Always room to learn or share!

@jboairbrush 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks man, yeah I imagine you point the mask you void the certification, but I'm pretty sure the refs are just gunna want to see that the sticker is there and then they will let them play, which I imagine is all the person with the mask wants as well. So masking it off would def work, I don't want the mask lines so I just take it off and put it back on, but yeah it's all a little hairy and vague on whats actually ok haha.

Ive done several helmets and would use a fiberglass filler or panel bond. Technically Bondo is a brand name but for sake of argument wouldnt use bondo as too thick would crack and break.

@jboairbrush 3 жыл бұрын

If they are stickers over top of the gel coat / clear coat I just take them off using a heat gun to help. If they are painted and below the gel coat I generally just sand them smooth, not necessarily off. And the primer and basecoat will cover it. Sometimes it’s just a thin layer of paint overtop and as soon as you start wet sanding it you’ll see it disappear. Either way I guess you just want it sanded and levelled and then you will be ready for primer.
