@@TristanMaker youre welcome 🙃. But I have a question: What did you do to prevent your helmet from cracking after you applied the clear coat? Or was that an elastic clear coat spray? Or in general, after the modpodge why doesn't it crack? The modpodge isn't elastic, is it?

@dezz1706 2 жыл бұрын

And I maybe messed it up by airbrushing the helmet. Instead of using acrylic paint, but we'll see

@TristanMaker 2 жыл бұрын

Modpodge is a PVA glue like wood glue but it is much more flexible. Not as flexible as plasti dip but still flexible enough for a helmet. And for the clear coat, it's just a normal clear coat from rust oleum. I found that when you apply it in 1 or 2 thin layers, it sticks really well to acrylic paint and stays just flexible enough to prevent cracking.

@dezz1706 2 жыл бұрын

@@TristanMaker ah okay. I used wood glue but without water and acrylic. Maybe that's what caused the cracking. Next time I'll mix it like you did or use mod podge 🤔 I've used a clear coat one time but there it cracked.🤔 I think I just have to experiment a little bit to get the results I want. Thanks for your help ^^

@lightshrestha1152 2 жыл бұрын

To use that gold paint more efficiently first pain the part yellow or orange with normal acrylic paints then apply the gold... Just 1 layer will get the perfect results... Nice helmet :D

Super helpful video. Thanks ! Really new to this. Does anyone have any recommendations regarding what foam density to use for the helmets ?

@TristanMaker 2 жыл бұрын

Awesome! For helmets, low to medium density works best because of the compound curves on the dome. For armors or parts that don't need as much heat forming, medium to high density works great. Lower density is easier to work with but higher density is more durable. :)

Hi, quick question. How do you make sure that the finished helmet will fit without making it and it being too big / small ? Is there a way to scale it to fit before printing out the templates ?

@TristanMaker Жыл бұрын

Yes, you can refer to the sizing chart located in the pictures of the listing on Etsy. Then, follow the printing tutorial video linked in the product description and enter the scale that fits your head size in the program.

Are you able to use a hot glue gun and hairdryer instead of contact cement and heat gun?

@TristanMaker 2 жыл бұрын

A hairdryer doesn't get anywhere hot enough. As for hot glue, it is possible but you have to glue small sections at a time and hold the parts together while they dry.

@WAX69 9 ай бұрын

What will work to stick the pieces together besides that cement stuff?

@TristanMaker 9 ай бұрын

The contact cement is what I recommend, especially for a helmet. Superglue will also work, but not as well. Hot glue can work in a pinch, but it won't be as sturdy.
